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 April 22, 2016 the aircraft landed at Tipton Airport (fme). On landing roll out the pilot applied the brakes at which time the left brake failed causing the aircraft to veer off the runway. The aircraft nose landing gear mount was damaged from the runway departure. It was also found that the brake failure was caused by a brake lining being worn down too FAR, and when brakes were applied it was dislodged from the caliper. This allowed the brake fluid to leak out of the system causing brake failure.
