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.

While taxing on taxway "n" to active runway, when applying brakes; right brake pedal loss braking pressure. This aircraft requires brake system to steer aircraft straight. The aircraft veered to the left due to left brake pressure available only, and finally rested on the grass just off of taxiway "n".
