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
The flight proceeded without incident until the tail wheel was unlocked during the landing roll. The aircraft drifted to the left and struck a parked cherokee. Both aircraft were substantially damaged. Inspection revealed that residue of a recent paint stripping had fallen onto the left brake and lodged in a position that prevented release of the brake.
