## Narrative

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

ON A LOCAL FLIGHT INTO THE CEDAR KEY AREA, APPROACHING FINAL TO RUNWAY 23, DURING LANDING THE PILOT STATES HE APPLIED THE BRAKES IN WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE FAILED, HE THEN EXERTED MORE PRESSURE WITH NO RESULT. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE PLANE THEN ROLLED SLOWLY OVER THE EDGE OF A FIFTEEN FOOT MARSHY EMBANKMENT ON THE WEST END OF THE RUNWAY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE NOSE GEAR & ASSOCIATED AREA. FURTHER INSPECTION INDICATED MINIMAL TO NO DAMAGE BUT, IDENTIFIED A WOODEN CHOCK UNDER THE RUDDER PEDALS POSSIBLY CAUSING IT TO WEDGE INTO OR BEHIND THE PEDALS CAUSING THE INABILITY FOR SUFFICIENT BRAKING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION IN REGARDS TO THE ONBOARD CHOCK TO BE A FACTOR, IT WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO INHIBIT BOTH PILOT & CO-PILOT ABILITY FOR SUFFICENT BRAKING. SO WE HAVE DETERMINED IT WAS NOT  CAUSAL TO THE INCIDENT AND COUNSELING STILL REMAINS AS THIS INVESTIGATORS DECISION.
