Analysis
The plt said that during the landing roll the brakes did not operate despite his continued application of pressure on the pedals. As the acft neared the rwy end he tried to swerve the acft left toward a runup pad. However, at the same time the r brake operated. The acft remained on the rwy, ran off the rwy end and down an embankment before it nosed over. Examination of the acft revealed the l brake line was worn through from chafing against the fuselage.
