What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot statement:
Wednesday may 5th 2021 I was back-taxing to the end of runway 8 to do a runup in the runup
Area before my take off. As I approached the end of the runway, I slowed to make my left turn
Into the runup area. I then started my hard left turn by applying the left rudder and some left
Brake to assist the turn. As soon as I did this the left brake faded. I pumped the left brake
Trying to get braking pressure back to get the plane to turn left, then applied both brakes in full,
Locking up the right tire as pictured. I slowly rolled off the end of runway 8, striking a runlight
Light with the prop, coming to a stop 3 feet or so off the runway. There was no drop RPM,
Vibrations, or audible sounds coming from the engine. I then turned the engine off myself
Using normal shutdown procedures. There was no property damage other than the light, and
Prop. No one was injured.
