## Analysis

DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO VEER LEFT AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO RIGHT RUDDER OR BRAKE APPLICATION. THE PLANE CONTINUED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, AND THE RIGHT WING WAS DAMAGED. AN INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT BRAKE HAD FAILED. THE BRAKE LINING FOR THE BACK PLATE WAS MISSING. THE PRESSURE PLATE LINING WAS WORN WITH ABOUT 3/32 INCH OF LINING REMAINING.
