Read the full NTSB narrative

DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE PILOT EXPERIENCED A MALFUNCTION WHEN HE APPLIED HIS BRAKES. WHEN APPLIED, THE RIGHT BRAKE WORKED BUT THE LEFT BRAKE DID NOT. THE PILOT REPEATEDLY PUMPED THE BRAKES, NEVERTHELESS THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WHEN IT CROSSED A DRAINAGE DITCH. FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THE LANDING GEAR AND BRAKE SYSTEM SHOWED A BRAKE FLUID LEAK IN THE LEFT BRAKE ASSEMBLY LOCATED AT A WORN "O" RING SEAL IN THE LOWER PISTON. THE AIRCRAFT'S BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY.
