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 stated his left brake failed during landing roll on the 3,200 ft long rwy. The landing was made with a 20 deg right quartering 10 knot tailwind. To prevent running off the departure end of the rwy in to a 50 ft dropoff, the plt ground looped the acft to the right resulting in a collapse of the left landing gear. Post accident examination of the main gear braking system found no defects.
