Analysis
According to the pilot, during flare/touchdown the aircraft was substantially damaged when the right brake jammed causing the aircraft to veer off the rt side of the runway and into a gulley. However witnesses stated that the aircraft came in fast and landed hard on the nose gear. An A&P mechanic inspected the brakes after the accident and could not find any evidence of a malfunction.
