## Narrative

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

THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) OF THE ACCIDENT AIRCRAFT WAS CONDUCTING HIS 90-DAY CURRENCY FLIGHT. DURING THE THIRD LANDING, AS HE ATTEMPTED TO BRING THE AIRCRAFT TO A FULL STOP, THE BRAKES FAILED, WITH THE PIC REPORTING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO THE FLOOR. THIS MALFUNCTION WAS PARTICULARLY CRITICAL FOR THE CIRRUS SR22, WHICH REQUIRES DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING TO MANEUVER THE CASTERED NOSE WHEEL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT COULD NOT TURN AND OVERSHOT THE RUNWAY, STRIKING AN “END-OF-RUNWAY” LIGHT WITH ITS PROPELLER. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED FOR AN ADDITIONAL 400 FEET BEYOND THE RUNWAY, STRIKING A CHAIN-LINK FENCE BEFORE COMING TO A STOP IN A DRAINAGE DITCH ON THE OTHER SIDE, RESULTING IN MINOR DAMAGE TO THE WING AND HORIZONTAL STABILIZER.

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.
