The pilot was landing on a remote airstrip that was about 1,000 feet long, 30 feet wide, and about 3,600 feet msl. During the landing roll, the pilot applied the brakes, but the left brake was soft. The pilot said he could not stop the airplane before running off the end of the airstrip. The nose wheel struck several rocks about 50 feet off the end of the strip. The nose wheel then separated from the nose wheel strut. The airplane nosed down and the left wing collided with rocky terrain. After the accident, the pilot said he observed the left main tire covered by brake fluid, but he did not examine the brake cylinder.
Probable Cause: A leak/partial failure of the left main gear brake system. Factors in the accident were a short runway/landing area, and the presence of rocks/boulders at the end of the airstrip.
