What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)While in the landing roll out phase, the pilot in command applied both brake pedals slowly, the right brake pedal depressed all the way to the floor and the left brake pedal was operating normally. This situation caused the aircraft to veer to the left, leaving the dirt landing strip, going through a small drainage ditch and coming in contact with a rise in terrain which enclosed irrigation piping. The contact with the rise in terrain caused the aircraft to flip over on its back. The pilot was not injured and the damage to the aircraft was limited to the upper wing skins, vertical fin, rudder and propeller. None of this damage was substantial. Post examination of the right brake system revealed what appeared to be a leak around the brake caliper. The brake system was working normally during the initial run up and take off of the aircraft. No other anomalies were noted.
