Approach and Descent
The pilot was cleared for an LDA/NDB approach to Runway 19. After transitioning to visual flight, the pilot checked the Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) and determined the aircraft was high. The pilot then performed a sideslip maneuver to lose altitude.
Landing and Braking
Winds were reported as light and variable, but the pilot reported a slight tailwind during landing with the aircraft slightly fast, causing the aircraft to float. The aircraft touched down approximately one-third of the way down the runway. At that point, sufficient runway appeared to remain, but the pilot noted no braking action on the wet runway. A rated passenger in the right front seat also applied brakes, but to no avail.
Runway Excursion
The aircraft continued off the runway, went over a 20-foot embankment, and came to rest inverted.
