THE PILOT RECEIVING THE DEMONSTRATION WAS MAKING HIS FIRST LANDING IN THIS AIRPLANE. DURING THE LANDING ROLL, A STRONG WIND SHEAR WAS ENCOUNTERED, CAUSING THE AIRPLANE TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. THE PILOT DID NOT HAVE WHEEL BRAKES ON HIS SIDE OF THE AIRPLANE. HE USED ALL AVAILABLE RUDDER AND CALLED FOR BRAKES FROM THE PILOT IN COMMAND. THE PIC SAID HE APPLIED BRAKES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRPLANE FROM DEPARTING THE RUNWAY AND ENCOUNTERING ROUGH TERRAIN.
