Primary finding
Probable cause
Failure at a hydraulic fitting, which resulted in a hydraulic leak, loss of hydraulic fluid, and subsequent loss of braking action during the landing roll.
Investigator assessment
Analysis narrative
While landing on a runway with a displace threshold, braking action was lost and the pilot was unable to stop the airplane on the remaining runway. Subsequently, the airplane ran off the end of the runway and collided with three small trees, which damaged the right wing. An inspection revealed a leak in a brake line fitting had allowed the hydraulic system to be depleted of fluid.
