## Narrative

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

ON OCTOBER 9, 2023 THE PIC PERFORMED MULTIPLE UNEVENTFUL TOUCH AND GOS AT MEADOW LAKE AIRPORT. UPON FINAL TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT AND PIC ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BY APPLYING RUDDER AND BRAKES. AIRCRAFT NOSED OVER AND CAME TO REST LEFT OF TAXIWAY A. AIRCRAFT WAS GIVEN A FIELD APPROVAL FOR THE INSTALL OF C-310 BRAKES BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^. THE FAIRCHILD 24 IS WITHIN THE VINTAGE AIRCRAFT CATEGORY AND THE INSTALLED BRAKES WORK AS ADVERTISED BUT PROVIDE A LOT MORE BRAKING POWER THAN THE ORIGINAL STOCK BRAKES. THE PIC WAS COUNSELED ABOUT THE BRAKING POWER OF THE NEW BRAKES AND STATED THAT A POTENTIAL CORRECTION WOULD BE TO CONSIDER A DIFFERENT BRAKING SYSTEM.
