## Narrative

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

(-23)AIRCRAFT WAS EQUIPPED WITH FULLY FUNCTIONING DUAL CONTROLS, EXCEPT THERE WERE NO BRAKES ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. AIRCRAFT WAS LANDED BY INSTRUCTOR/PIC SEATED IN THE RIGHT SEAT ON RUNWAY 33 NEAR THE APPROACH END.  JUST PRIOR TO LANDING, THE INSTRUCTOR STATED TO THE STUDENT "NO BRAKES" IN AN EFFORT TO COMMUNICATE THAT HE DID NOT WANT BRAKES USED AFTER LANDING.  AFTER LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED FOR APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET, AND THEN VEERED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^
