## Narrative

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

ON JULY 23, 2025, PILOT CONDUCTED A LOCAL PLEASURE FLIGHT THAT LASTED 8/10TH OF AN HOUR.  AIRCRAFT WAS A C-170, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ - PIC WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT.  UPON RETURN TO CONCORD, PIC ENTERED LEFT DOWNWIND FOR 3 5. PIC WAS THE ONLY AIRCRAFT IN THE PATTERN AT THAT TIME. WINDS WERE REPORTED AS CALM. THE LANDING AND ROLLOUT WAS SMOOTH AND UNEVENTFUL. AS THE PIC NEARED THE EXIT TO A3, HE STARTED TO STEER TO THE LEFT TO EXIT THE RUNWAY. AS HE GOT CLOSER TO THE INTERSECTION, HE HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND THE LEFT BRAKE DID NOT WORK AND COULD NOT SLOW DOWN.
