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.

Pilots statement: on September 12, 2022, at 12:15AM, I was returning from a cross country trip from alexandria, Louisiana. I made a visual approach to runway 36 and landed with no problems. Upon landing at Augusta municipal (3AU), a deer ran onto the runway and I struck the deer with the airplane. The airplane immediately lost right braking power and I steered the airplane across the grass section and onto taxiway a. I stopped the airplane on taxiway a and diagnosed with my co-pilot that we had lost the right braking authority. I applied very little power and used the rudder to taxi the airplane back to pray aviation.

After tying down the aircraft, I took pictures of the airplane and then proceeded back to the runway to find the remains of the deer still on the runway. I then removed the deer from the runway to the grassy side strip of the runway. The airplane was a Cessna 172 skyhawk with the tail number of privacy data omitted. We were time-building to reach ATP minimums. After closer inspections, the aircraft sustained damage to the right brake line. The airplane is still undergoing inspections for damage.
