| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that on landing, the aircraft's right brake locked up causing the aircraft to swerve to the right and overturn. In a post-accident examination of the aircraft, an FAA inspector found that one of the right brake's three linings had broken apart, and that debris from the lining had become lodged between the brake housing and the brake disc causing the brake to seize. The FAA inspector found that the aircraft had undergone an annual inspection in the month prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: Disintegration of a lining of the right brake and subsequent lodging of brake lining debris between the brake housing and brake disc, resulting in seizure of the right brake. A factor was that directional control was not possible.
