During landing roll, the pilot applied light braking to slow for an upcoming taxiway. The aircraft drifted left; right rudder and brake inputs were ineffective. The aircraft veered off the runway and collided with a taxiway marker, collapsing the left main gear and substantially damaging the fuselage. Post-accident examination found no brake system malfunction.

Accident Sequence

The pilot performed an approach and landing on a 4,094-foot-long by 80-foot-wide asphalt runway. After touchdown, during the landing roll, the pilot applied light braking to reduce speed for an upcoming taxiway. While braking, the aircraft deviated left of the runway centerline. The pilot then applied right rudder and right brake to correct the drift, but these actions were perceived as ineffective. The aircraft continued to move left, departed the runway surface, and subsequently collided with a taxiway marker.

Damage

The impact with the taxiway marker caused the left main landing gear to collapse and resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.

Post-Accident Examination

A thorough examination of the aircraft's braking system after the accident revealed no malfunction or failure. The system was found to be functioning normally.
