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.
It was reported by the student pilot that after landing the student started to apply the brakes, at that time the student commented to the flight instructor the right brake was not responding. The flight instructor took the controls of the aircraft verifying that the right brake was not responding. The flight instructor decided attempt to slow the aircraft on the runway by making three 180 degree turns to the left on the runway. This allowed the flight instructor to slow the aircraft and back taxi to the closest intersection (bravo 3). During the taxi on bravo 3 the aircraft started to pull to the left running off the taxi way on to the grass striking the taxi way marker light with the propeller.
