## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 21 WITH APPROXIMATELY 3000' OF RUNWAY REMAINING. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED A BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AND THE AIRMAN WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE. AS NOTED IN THE INITIAL VISUAL INSPECTION BY INSPECTORS ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ THE BRAKE SYSTEM APPEARED TO BE IN A NORMAL CONDITION. HOWEVER, A SUBSEQUENT TEARDOWN OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM BY THE OWNER/BUILDER/PILOT OF THE AIRCRAFT REVEALED WORN PADS, ROTOR AND A FAILED CALIPER SEAL. SEE PICTURES.
