NTSB narrative
PRIOR TO TAKEOFF THE PILOT OBSERVED AN ASYMMETRICAL DEFLECTION OF THE RUDDER/BRAKE PEDALS. UPON LANDING HE EXECUTED A RIGHT TURN TO DEPART THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE RIGHT TURN AND THE AIRCRAFT GROUND LOOPED DAMAGING THE LEFT WING AND LANDING GEAR. THE PLT STATED AFTER THE ACC THAT THE LEFT BRAKE, PART #0341005-65, WAS WORN BEYOND ALLOWABLE TOLERANCES AS DETERMINED BY A RECENT MAINTENANCE OVERHAUL. THE PLT HAD NOTICED, PRIOR TO THE LAST TAKEOFF, THAT THE LEFT BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEFLECTED INWARD 1 1/2 INCHES FARTHER THAN THE RT BRAKE PEDAL. THE PLT HAD TRIED TO STOP THE GROUNDLOOP WITH THE LEFT BRAKE BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.

Source notes (4)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
