## Narrative

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

AFTER A NORMAL LANDING AT KLXT, THE PILOT APPLIED BRAKES. THE LEFT BRAKE PEDAL RESPONDED AS EXPECTED BUT THE RIGHT PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LEFT BRAKE THEN LOCKED UP THE LEFT MAIN AND PULLED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT FOR THE LACK OF RIGHT BRAKE, BUT WAS PULLED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. UPON ENTERING THE GRASS ADJACENT TO THE RUNWAY, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED UNDER THE AIRCRAFT.
