During the pilot's third attempt to land the airplane, the airplane departed the runway, traveled for 450 feet, struck 2 runway lights, a ditch, and a fence before coming to rest. Tire marks were found approximately 2,300 feet beyond the approach end of the 3,000-foot runway. The left wing was partially separated from the airplane, and the left wing spar was twisted. The pilot reported that the left brake of the differential brake system failed during the landing roll. The FAA inspectors examined the brake system and found no discrepancies.
