Narrative:
Right brake failed on rollout, drifted off runway at end. Propeller struck sand and gravel and rock before stopping. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the pilot said that he has flown this cessna P210 a number of times and is familiar with, what he termed, its inadequate brakes. He is sure that he would have checked the fluid levels, but cannot specifically recall the hydraulic fluid level. He said that the owner thinks that low hydraulic fluid level was the cause of the right brake's failure to fully function. The owner had the landing gear swung after the aircraft was towed to the hanger and it operated normally. The reporter said that he did not understand why the owner wanted to have the gear checked since it had operated normally for him and the off runway portion of his excursion was short and smooth. He also said that the propeller was not seriously damaged and the owner was probably going to have the chips and marks polished out. The FAA had not contacted the reporter as yet.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: THE PLT OF A C210 HAS THE R BRAKE FAIL DURING THE LNDG ROLLOUT AND THE ACFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND THE PROP STRUCK A DIRT BERM, INCURRING SOME NICKS, BEFORE THE ACFT STOPPED. NO INJURIES.
Narrative: R BRAKE FAILED ON ROLLOUT, DRIFTED OFF RWY AT END. PROP STRUCK SAND AND GRAVEL AND ROCK BEFORE STOPPING. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE PLT SAID THAT HE HAS FLOWN THIS CESSNA P210 A NUMBER OF TIMES AND IS FAMILIAR WITH, WHAT HE TERMED, ITS INADEQUATE BRAKES. HE IS SURE THAT HE WOULD HAVE CHKED THE FLUID LEVELS, BUT CANNOT SPECIFICALLY RECALL THE HYD FLUID LEVEL. HE SAID THAT THE OWNER THINKS THAT LOW HYD FLUID LEVEL WAS THE CAUSE OF THE R BRAKE'S FAILURE TO FULLY FUNCTION. THE OWNER HAD THE LNDG GEAR SWUNG AFTER THE ACFT WAS TOWED TO THE HANGER AND IT OPERATED NORMALLY. THE RPTR SAID THAT HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE OWNER WANTED TO HAVE THE GEAR CHKED SINCE IT HAD OPERATED NORMALLY FOR HIM AND THE OFF RWY PORTION OF HIS EXCURSION WAS SHORT AND SMOOTH. HE ALSO SAID THAT THE PROP WAS NOT SERIOUSLY DAMAGED AND THE OWNER WAS PROBABLY GOING TO HAVE THE CHIPS AND MARKS POLISHED OUT. THE FAA HAD NOT CONTACTED THE RPTR AS YET.
