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 plt stated that the wind changed from a crosswind to a tailwind on final apch. He continued the apch, landed, & during the landing roll, realized 'the brakes were not working properly,' & that he would be unable to stop the acft on the rwy. He then maneuvered the acft towards the side of the rwy, during which, it straddled a ditch causing the left main gear to collapse. Due to the delay in reporting of this accident no determination could be made as to the malfunction of the brakes.
