THE PILOT LANDED ON A 2,600-FOOT WET, SOD RUNWAY. UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE PILOT HELD THE AIRPLANE ON THE CENTERLINE BY USING THE RUDDER AND THE BRAKES. THE NOSE WHEEL OF THE AIRPLANE IS NON-STEERABLE. APPROXIMATELY THREE-QUARTERS DOWN THE RUNWAY, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE, AND IT SUDDENLY VEERED RIGHT. THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH TERRAIN, AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP 10 FEET OFF THE RUNWAY. SUBSEQUENTLY, REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE AIRPLANE THAT INCLUDED REBUILDING THE LEFT BRAKE CALIPER BECAUSE OF INADEQUATE BRAKE AUTHORITY.
Probable Cause: AN INOPERATIVE LEFT MAIN WHEEL BRAKE THAT RESULTED IN A LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. A FACTOR WAS THE WET, GRASS RUNWAY.
