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
After landing, the aircraft departed the right side of the runway. The pilot stated that left rudder and brake did not keep the aircraft on the runway. He believed that the right brake locked or the left reverser did not activate. An examination of the aircraft revealed no mechanical malfunction of the braking system or flight controls.
