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 he experienced a failure of the right brake system preventing him from maintaining directional control during ground roll after landing on runway 09. The mechanic who removed the aircraft from the accident scene reported that tire tracks from the aircraft's left and right main tires first appeared approximately 300 feet from the approach end. He further stated that the two main tires appeared to be rolling until the right main tire dug in the ground just as the aircraft went over the runway lights and shortly thereafter broke off.
