Read the full NTSB narrative
THE PILOT REPORTED THAT DURING THE LANDING ROLL-OUT, THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED AFTER IT HAD TRAVELED SOME 1500 TO 1700 FT DOWN THE RUNWAY. DURING THE ACCIDENT, THE NOSE GEAR FAILED AND THE BOTTOM OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS DAMAGED FROM THE FORWARD SPAR TO THE NOSE. ALSO, BOTH PROPELLERS WERE DAMAGED. THE PILOT BELIEVED THAT EITHER THE LEFT BRAKE OR THE NOSEWHEEL HAD TURNED THE PLANE OFF THE RUNWAY. AN INSPECTION AND OPERATIONAL CHECK OF THE LEFT BRAKE REVEALED NO DISCREPANCIES. DUE TO IMPACT DAMAGE, NO DETERMINATION COULD BE MADE CONCERNING THE OPERATION OF THE NOSE GEAR.
