## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING FIRST LANDING THE BRAKES ON THE YAK-52 FAILED TO FULLY ENGAGE AND THE PILOT MADE A GO-AROUND. ON THE SECOND LANDING THE PILOT USED THE TALL GRASS ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY TO SLOW DOWN THE AIRCRAFT. THE BRAKES STILL WOULD NOT FULLY ENGAGE FROM THE PILOT'S STATION AND THE PILOT COULD NOT STOP THE AIRCRAFT OR MAINTAIN FULL DIRECTIONAL CONTROL.

THE YAK-52 RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT WING. THE PROPELLER WAS DESTROYED AND THE ENGINE MOUNT WAS BENT.
