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 plt reported that his airspeed was too high on ldg and that the acft brakes failed to function when he tried to stop the acft. The plt turned the acft off the rwy into a soft grassy area as the acft neared the rwy end. Another plt who witnessed the accident reported that the acft did not touch down until it was about 2/3 of the way down the 3500 ft rwy. Post-crash examination of the acft revealed that it could be moved by hand with the brakes activated.
