## Narrative

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

(-23) THE FLIGHT CREW OF N398SP WERE PRACTICING TAKEOFF AND LANDING PROCEDURES DURING A TRAINING FLIGHT. AFTER LANDING ON RUNWAY 18 THE CREW USED REVERSE AND BETA TO SLOW THE AIRCRAFT TO TAXI SPEED. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO ENTER THE TAXIWAY AND EXIT RUNWAY 18 THE BRAKE ON THE RIGHT HAND MAIN LANDING GEAR LOCKED UP AND STARTED TO SKID AS THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND THE PROPELLER STRUCK A SNOW BANK. THE DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER WAS REPORTED AS MINOR. THE MECHANIC THAT RECOVERED THE AIRPLANE AND INSPECTED THE BRAKES REPORTED TAHT THERE WAS A SKID MARK ON THE RUNWAY INDICATING THE BRAKE WAS LOCKED UP. THE BRAKE DID NOT APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN LOCKED AT TOUCH DOWN BECAUSE THE TIRE SKID MARK DID NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON THE ROLL OUT WELL DOWN THE RUNWAY. THE INSPECTION OF THE BRAKES DID NOT REVEAL ANY OBVIOUS INDICATIONS OF A MALFUNCTION HOWEVER, THE SKID MARK ON THE RUNWAY INDICATED THAT ONE BRAKE DID LOCK UP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED.

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.
