Analysis

The pilot stated that he made a VOR approach to runway 19 and after touchdown the aircraft began to turn to the left. When he attempted to stop the turn with the right brake he found the brake had failed. Investigation revealed the aircraft had landed hard, aligned about 15 degrees from the runway heading. Examination of the brake system revealed a lack of brake fluid. There were no leaks in the brake system.
