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 pilot reported that he made a 3-point landing, and after rolling about 3 or 4 seconds, the aircraft suddenly pulled to the right. He tried to correct with left rudder and brake, but the plane continued swerving to the right. Subsequently, the left main wheel and left wing were damaged. The pilot reported that the plane acted as if the right brake had been dragging. However, an examination of the brake revealed no indication of a malfunction. The pilot estimated that he had a 5 to 6 kt crosswind component during the landing.
