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
Prior to takeoff the pilot observed an asymmetrical deflection of the rudder/brake pedals. Upon landing he executed a right turn to depart the runway. The pilot stated that he was unable to stop the right turn and the aircraft ground looped damaging the left wing and landing gear. The plt stated after the acc that the left brake, part #0341005-65, was worn beyond allowable tolerances as determined by a recent maintenance overhaul. The plt had noticed, prior to the last takeoff, that the left brake pedal was deflected inward 1 1/2 inches farther than the rt brake pedal. The plt had tried to stop the groundloop with the left brake but was not successful.
