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 landing roll, the acft veered to the right. The plt applied left rudder, but this did not help. Subsequently, the acft went off the rwy & the left main gear sank into soft ground & collapsed. An exam of the acft was made, but no reason was found for the right brake to lock.
