Analysis

According to the plt, he applied power to taxi after starting the eng. He stated that after the acft began moving, he tried to apply left braking action to negotiate a left turn. However, according to him, the left brake failed to operate & the acft continued forward toward a Cessna 172, N20636. He stated that he then applied both brakes, but to no avail. The acft then collided with the Cessna 172. An FAA inspector checked the acft & found that the parking brake was inoperative, but the normal brakes functioned properly. Reportedly, the plt was not aware that the nosewheel steering & rudder were interconnected.
