Incident Details
After landing, the pilot noticed that the right brake felt spongy and continued taxiing at a slower speed. While executing a right turn, a gust of wind pushed the nose further to the left toward a building. The pilot reported being unable to maintain directional control due to the malfunctioning right brake. The left wing tip contacted the building, and a fire resulted immediately. The fire subsequently spread, and the aircraft was destroyed.
Pilot Account
The pilot stated that he had experienced prior brake problems and had repeated maintenance performed, but not all of the brake problems had been corrected. He also reported that the strobe was left on.
Investigation Findings
Examination of the brake system was inconclusive due to the extensive damage from the fire.
