Incident Overview
A student pilot, with a certified flight instructor (CFI) on board, was conducting a landing on runway 23. The student pilot reported that the landing itself was normal. However, during the landing rollout, as the pilot applied the brakes, the aircraft began to veer to the right.
Pilot and CFI Actions
The CFI took control of the flight controls, and both pilots applied left rudder in an attempt to correct the veer. Despite their coordinated efforts, the left rudder input had no effect on the aircraft's direction. The aircraft continued its rightward movement, departing the paved runway surface onto the adjacent grass area.
Runway Excursion and Collision
The aircraft traveled through the grass before colliding with a ditch. The incident resulted in the aircraft becoming damaged. No information was provided regarding injuries to the occupants.
Post-Incident Inspection
After the incident, a functional check of the brake system was performed. The inspection found no deficiencies in the brake operation. No explanation for the veer was identified during this check.
Contributing Factors
The source does not specify any causal or contributing factors. The investigation did not state why the aircraft veered or why the left rudder application was ineffective.
