On February 26, 1994, a Grumman G-164 (registration N730Y) was involved in an aviation accident near Almyra, AR. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The failure of the right brake during the landing rollout, which caused the aircraft to veer off the runway. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
A light aircraft veered left off the runway after the pilot applied brakes post-touchdown, resulting in a nose-over into a muddy field due to a locked right brake.
The pilot reported applying the brakes immediately after touchdown. The right brake failed to function as intended. Consequently, the airplane veered to the left, leaving the paved surface and entering a muddy field. The aircraft then nosed over.
An A&P mechanic inspected the brake system following the incident. The inspection revealed that the right brake was locked up at the master cylinder and would not operate. No reason for the lockup was reported.
