Probable cause
The failure of the right brake system to release after application for unknown reasons.
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
During the landing rollout, the pilot lightly applied both brakes to check for normal operation. The right brake locked for an unknown reason. The pilot attempted to maintain directional control but was unsuccessful. The airplane departed the runway to the right, groundlooped and came to rest adjacent to the runway.
