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
During the take-off roll for an aerial application operation, the pilot said he lost his left wheel braking capability. He continued the take-off, flew to the farm field to be treated, applied the load, then returned to a near by alternate landing strip because of a longer runway and facilities. During the landing roll, directional control was lost. The acft veered to the right, ran off the runway and struck a ditch.
