- Fire, landing - roll

## Analysis

THIS WAS A NEW ACFT WHICH THE OWNER WAS FERRYING FROM THE DEALER TO HIS PRIVATE AG STRIP. THE LANDING WAS MADE TO THE NORTH ON A HALF MILE LONG GRASS STRIP AND THE WIND WAS CALM. THE PLT REPORTS THAT THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED WHEN THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AND THE MAIN GEAR WHEELS NEVER TURNED. AS THE ACFT SLOWED TO A STOP IT NOSED OVER, CAUGHT ON FIRE AND BURNED. AN FAA, AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTOR EXAMINED THE FIRE DAMAGED BRAKE SYSTEM BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND EVIDENCE TO EXPLAIN THE REPORTED BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.
