## Narrative

(-23) DURING TAXI, AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE TAXIWAY TO THE RIGHT AFTER THE PILOT APPLIED BOTH BRAKES. AIRPLANE CAME TO A REST IN A DITCH. INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED THAT THE LEFT BRAKE PADS WERE WORN TO A POINT THAT WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE BRAKE PUCKS EXTENDED FAR ENOUGH TO ALLOW THE O-RINGS TO BE EXPOSED. THIS CAUSED THE LOSS OF BRAKING ON THE LEFT SIDE.
