## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

PILOT STATED THE LEFT BRAKE WAS "SQUISHY". WHILE TAXIING ON TAXIWAY "A" AFTER A NORMAL LANDING THE PLANE SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND STRUCK A TAXIWAY LIGHT.  MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER.  NO INJURIES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
