Incident Details
A pilot was conducting landing practice and executed a soft-field approach with 20 degrees of flaps. During the initial portion of the landing roll, the pilot kept the nosewheel off the runway, then lowered the nose and applied the brakes. At that moment, the aircraft veered to the right, departed the runway surface, and collided with the segmented circle.
Pilot Report
The pilot stated that the right brake had locked, which caused the directional control issue. The aircraft exited the runway during the landing roll and struck the segmented circle before coming to a stop.
Post-Inspection Findings
After the aircraft was recovered, the braking system was examined. The brakes were checked and found to operate normally. No evidence of a locked brake was observed during the post-incident inspection.
