The pilot reported that, during the landing rollout, he applied the brakes but that the airplane failed to stop. The airplane continued about 2,600 ft down the runway, departed the runway surface, and impacted a chain link fence.
Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the brake hydraulic fluid reservoir was empty, and an elbow fitting on the right main landing gear brake assembly hydraulic line was found broken; it could not be determined when the elbow fitting broke. The lack of hydraulic fluid rendered the brakes ineffective.
Probable Cause: The loss of hydraulic fluid, which rendered the brakes ineffective. The reason for the loss of hydraulic fluid could not be determined based on the available evidence.
