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
According to the pilot, after touchdown he applied brakes and the right brake seemed to lock intermittently during the roll out. Black marks on the landing surface reveal the aircraft departed the right side and impacted an embankment and steel post. This was the pilots first landing in this model aircraft.
