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.

privacy data omitted Was cleared to land on runway 019 Teterboro (teb). Upon landing the pilot stated the he applied "normal braking" which had no effect on slowing the aircraft. After a few seconds the brakes locked the wheels, eventually blowing both tires causing the pilot to lose directional control. The aircraft spun 180 degrees ending up off the side of the runway. An inspection of the wheel brakes revealed that both left and right side main wheel hubcaps were missing.

The aircraft recently underwent a detailed 600 hour inspection performed by a certificated 14 CFR part 145 repair station. At the time of this inspection, both wheel brake assemblies were replaced.

The missing hubcaps were subsequently located at the repair station that performed the 600 hour inspection. The hubcaps were not re-installed at the completion of the brake replacement during the 600 hour inspection.

Note:

Consultation with privacy data omitted technical representative confirmed that the hubcaps are directly linked with brakes anti-skid system, and if not installed would result in unpredictable / uncontrolled braking.

As the FAA filed it

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS CLEARED TO LAND ON RUNWAY 019 TETERBORO (TEB). UPON LANDING THE PILOT STATED THE HE APPLIED "NORMAL BRAKING" WHICH HAD NO EFFECT ON SLOWING THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE BRAKES LOCKED THE WHEELS, EVENTUALLY BLOWING BOTH TIRES CAUSING THE PILOT TO LOSE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE AIRCRAFT SPUN 180 DEGREES ENDING UP OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. AN INSPECTION OF THE WHEEL BRAKES REVEALED THAT BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE MAIN WHEEL HUBCAPS WERE MISSING.

THE AIRCRAFT RECENTLY UNDERWENT A DETAILED 600 HOUR INSPECTION PERFORMED BY A CERTIFICATED 14 CFR PART 145 REPAIR STATION. AT THE TIME OF THIS INSPECTION, BOTH WHEEL BRAKE ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED.

THE MISSING HUBCAPS WERE SUBSEQUENTLY LOCATED AT THE REPAIR STATION THAT PERFORMED THE 600 HOUR INSPECTION. THE HUBCAPS WERE NOT RE-INSTALLED AT THE COMPLETION OF THE BRAKE REPLACEMENT DURING THE 600 HOUR INSPECTION.

NOTE:

CONSULTATION WITH ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVE CONFIRMED THAT THE HUBCAPS ARE DIRECTLY LINKED WITH BRAKES ANTI-SKID SYSTEM, AND IF NOT INSTALLED WOULD RESULT IN UNPREDICTABLE / UNCONTROLLED BRAKING.
