During postaccident examination, the airplane rolled freely on its wheels, forward and backward, with no evidence of brake drag. No preimpact mechanical anomaly was found.
Probable Cause: an undetermined braking anomaly and/or failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the airplane during the landing.
