NTSB narrative
THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE LANDED 10 KTS FAST TO COMPENSATE FOR A 15 KT CROSSWIND. HE REPORTED THAT DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE RIGHT BRAKE FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT WORKING. RATHER THAN GOING OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY, HE APPLIED HEAVY LEFT BRAKE AND STEERED THE AIRCRAFT ONTO THE GRASS MEDIAN BESIDE THE RUNWAY. BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED A PERPENDICULAR TAXIWAY AJOINING THE END OF THE RUNWAY. AT THAT TIME, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AS THE NOSE WHEEL CONTACTED THE LIP ON THE EDGE OF THE TAXIWAY. AN INVESTIGATION VERIFIED THAT THE RIGHT BRAKE, MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS ABOUT 5500 FT.

- 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.
