## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS LANDING ON RUNWAY 25, WHEN HE STARTED APPLYING BRAKES HE REALIZED THAT HE HAD LOST HIS RIGHT BRAKE. PILOT MANAGED TO KEEP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY UNTIL THE END, AND SLOW IT DOWN TO ROUGHLY 20 KNOTS. AIRCRAFT THEN VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY AND WENT STRAIGHT INTO THE DITCH WHERE THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED, AND THE PROPELLER HIT THE GROUND BENDING IT, AND CAUSING SOME WING TIP DAMAGE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
