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 temperature was 85 degrees fahrenheit and the asphalt runway was hot, soft, and sticky. Reportedly, the brakes were operating normally.
