Analysis

The instructor took control of the acft to make the landing due to excessive crosswind. The ip stated that the apch speed was 70 to 75 KTS. The acft was landed on the first third of runway and brakes applied with half runway remaining. Ip reported that brake application provided no braking action. The brakes were re-applied with excessive pressure with no effect. The acft rolled off the end of rwy 35. Post crash exam revealed no mech problems. Both plts stated that they listened to the automated terminal information service (ATIS), contacted abq approach control and heard the coronado UNICOM advisories, all of which indicated that the winds were 110 degrees at 10 knots. The plt of an acft that departed earlier fm coronado radioed that the winds were fm the east at 15 knots, gusting to 25 knots.
