## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS ON APPROACH TO AIRPORT, AFTER TOUCHDOWN HE ACTUATED THE BRAKE HANDLE WITH NO BRAKING ABILITY.  PILOT PUMPED BRAKES TO BUILD PRESSURE.  FINALLY THE BRAKES WERE WORKING, HOWEVER A LITTLE LATE THE PILOT LOCKED UP THE BRAKES AND SKIDDED OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED OVER AND DOWN AN EMBANKMENT APPROXIMATELY 30 FT.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST AND THE CREW EVACUATED THE AIRCRAFT.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
