Analysis

The pilot stated that he made a normal landing, but when he applied the brakes, they were ok for about 5 seconds, then they completely failed. The aircraft continued rolling until it hit a stump and some bushes at the end of the runway. The operator reported that there was evidence of brake failure due to excessively worn brake pucks.
