## Narrative

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

THE PILOT DEPARTED RENO/TAHOE/STEAD (RTS) AND FLEW VFR TO ELKO REGIONAL AIRPORT (EKO).  UPON LANDING ROLLOUT, THE PILOT NOTICED THE LEFT BRAKE WAS INOPERATIVE.  A TOUCH AND GO WAS INITIATED AND THE PILOT RETURNED FOR LANDING AT A SLOWER APPROACH SPEED AND IN PREPARATION OF A NO BRAKE LANDING.  THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED ON ROLLOUT AND AGAIN THE LEFT BRAKE WAS INOPERATIVE.  THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INTO A DRAINAGE DITCH.

## 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.
