Analysis
The acft was on an FAA certification flt (experimental). During the recovery phase, a non-type rated FAA plt was in the l seat & the PIC was in the r seat. While descending, a duct fail lgt & a leading edge overheat lgt came on. The PIC took corrective action. The FAA plt made an ILS apch to rwy 22 which was wet. The apch was made with the l eng at hi idle. The thrust reversers were not armed for the landing. A touchdown was made about 2000' down the rwy & spoilers weredeployed. When the FAA plt realized he did not have reverse thrust, he tried slowing the acft with brakes; however, the l brake was inop. The PIC took control & cycled the anti-skid, but still had no l braking action. Subsequently, the acftran off the end of the rwy & the nose gear collapsed in muddy terrain. An investigation revealed that during mainten- ance, the speed sensor harnesses for the l main gear were reversed which eliminated any braking to the l brake while the anti-skid was on.
