THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN FAST IN GUSTY CROSSWIND CONDITIONS AND DID NOT STOP PRIOR TO THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY, WHERE IT COLLIDED WITH EVERGREEN TREES. THE LANDING WAS THE FIRST LANDING MADE SINCE THE INSTALLATION OF A SET OF NEW METALLIC BRAKE LININGS. POST-ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED EXCESSIVELY WORN BRAKE DISCS AND LININGS. THE PILOT INDICATED THAT RECOMMENDED BRAKE LINING BREAK-IN PROCEDURES HAD NOT BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER PROCEDURES FOR BREAKING-IN NEW BRAKES AND THE EXCESSIVE TOUCHDOWN SPEED. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE THE WORN BRAKES.
