From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On 16 November 2011, n 728CT a Cessna 340 was landing at Sedona airport, Sedona AZ. Upon landing rollout, the aircraft lost directional control and ran off of the edge of the runway. Minor damage was done to the right main landing gear and propeller. The pilot stated in a telephone interview that upon landing rollout the right brake pedal went all the way to the floor, with only left brake available, thus causing loss of directional control. The pilot's mechanic, after performing an inspection of the brake system, provided a written statement that the right master cylinder needed an overhaul. This directly contributed to the cause of the incident. Nothing else follows
