Probable cause
Failure of the brake system for undetermined reasons resulting in the pilot losing directional control during landing and veering off the runway.
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
The pilot of a homebuilt made a normal landing and rollout. At a speed of about 25 to 30 mph the aircraft suddenly veered off the runway despite full application of right brake and right rudder. The winds were not reported. The accident report indicated an unspecified failure or malfunction with the brake assembly.
