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 01/16/2013 a Cessna 402, N510NE, was relocated from the Phoenix Sky Harbor cutter, inc. tarmac to the adjacent cargo area loading ramp for the purpose of loading the aircraft. During ground movement, the right brake failed and the pilot attempted to slow the aircraft. The left brake actuated as designed and the aircraft veered into two parked BE-99'S clipping it's left wing tip. The pilot was unable to control the aircraft, but managed to shut off the fuel to the both engines and the aircraft came to rest when it impacted a ups cargo container. There was no intent to fly. VMC and dry conditions prevailed.
