Analysis

The plt said he landed on rwy 16, a 3,865 x 65 ft dirt rwy, with calm winds. The plt said that during landing roll, he applied brakes and found that there was no braking action. The airplane ran off the south end of the rwy and down a 30 ft embankment. A post accident inspection provided no evidence to explain the reported brake malfunction.
