Analysis
The plt-in-command (PIC) reported that after touchdown, the spoilers & brakes were applied, but no braking action was felt although peddle pressure was evident. He stated that by the time it was clear that the brakes were ineffective,insufficient rwy remained to go around. He stated that power was reduced & the acft went off the end of the rwy. No skid marks were found going off the departure end. Witnesses said the acft had landed about half way down the rwy. They did not hear the engs 'run up' until after the acft went off the rwy's end. After departing the rwy, the acft encountered soft muddy terrain & was damaged. No discrepancies were found during an exam of the brakes, anti-skid, spoilers, wing flaps emerg brakes & drag chute.
