Read the full NTSB narrative

During the landing roll, the agricultural airplane started to turn toward the left side of the runway. The pilot applied right rudder followed by right brake; however, the right brake application had no effect. A mechanic and an FAA inspector found 'no abnormalities' with the brake system and 'normal brake pressure.' Maintenance records did not reveal any previous discrepancies with the brake system. Total aircraft flight time for the pilot was 930 flight hours with 540.8 hours in the Cessna A188B, agricultural aircraft; however, there were no flight entries from October 1992 to July 1998. On July 14, 1998, the pilot satisfactorily completed a biennial flight review in a Cessna 172 single engine non agricultural aircraft. The pilot flew the accident agricultural aircraft for 19.5 hours in July 1998.
