## Analysis

THE ACFT RAN OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY AND NOSED OVER DURING LANDING. THE PLT STATED THAT AFTER A WHEEL LANDING HE LOWERED THE TAIL WHEEL TO THE RWY AND APPLIED THE HAND BRAKE LEVER. THE RIGHT BRAKE GRABBED AND THE ACFT TURNED RIGHT, ROLLING AND SKIDDING OFF THE RWY AND NOSED OVER. INVESTIGATION REVEALED EVIDENCE OF SKIDMARKS FROM THE RIGHT TIRE ON THERWY WHERE THE ACFT DEPARTED THE RWY. AN INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY BY AN FAA AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR DID NOT SHOW ANY EVIDENCE OF A FAILURE OF MALFUNCTION IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM.
