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 roll-out after landing, the right brake malfunctioned. The pilot turned off onto a taxiway at the end of the runway & the plane collided with two parked airplanes. Examination of the brakes revealed a hydraulic leak at the right wheel.
