Read the full NTSB narrative

AS THE AIRCRAFT SLOWED DURING THE LANDING ROLL, IT BEGAN TO DRIFT RIGHT WHEN THE RUDDER BECAME INEFFECTIVE. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN LEFT BRAKING ACTION TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR STRUCK A SMALL EARTH BANK AND THE PLANE NOSED OVER. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE FLUID LEVEL WAS TOO LOW TO ACTUATE THE BRAKE.
