Read the full NTSB narrative
The private pilot completed a prerental checkout in the airplane and then departed for a local flight. Upon return to the airport, the pilot landed the airplane beyond the midpoint of the 2,722-ft-long runway, and the airplane then veered off the right side of the runway and impacted a fence. The pilot reported no anomalies with the brakes to the operator during his prerental checkout in the airplane. However, after the accident, he reported that one of the brakes felt "spongy" during the landing attempt. Postaccident examination of the brakes revealed no evidence of any anomalies that would have precluded normal operation.
