What was found

THE AIRCRAFT WAS ON A FERRY FLIGHT WITH GEAR DOWN DUE TO A DAMAGED LANDING GEAR DOOR. UPON LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT HAD NO BRAKES AND HYDRAULIC FLUID WAS STREAMING FROM THE LT WHEEL WELL. DURING CLOSER INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE HARD, BRAKE LINE IN THE LEFT WHEEL WELL HAD BROKEN IN HALF. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURANCE OF SUCH A FAILURE ON THIS MODEL AIRCRAFT.
