Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot stated that during the landing roll, at a speed of approximately 30 KTS, the brakes were applied in preparation for turning off the runway. The right brake pedal went to the floor and attempts to pump it up were unsuccessful. The aircraft ran off the left side of the runway and the main landing gear impacted two erosion ditches approximately 16 inches deep and 25 feet long. The ditches were not marked and there were no NOTAMS. Examination of the brake system after the accident revealed that the right brake cylinder failed.
