Analysis
The plt practiced several landings, then made a soft field apch with 20 deg of flaps. During the 1st part of the landing roll, he held the nosewheel off the rwy, then lowered the nose & applied the brakes. At that time, the acft veered right, went off the rwy & hit the segmented circle. The plt reported that the right brake had locked. However, when the acft was recovered, the brakes were checked & they worked normally.
