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.

After exiting the runway from doing touch and goes, the aircraft entered a non-movement area to park the aircraft. While executing a 180 turn, the left brake failed and the aircraft struck another parked, not operating or occupied aircraft.
