Narrative:
After touching down; the airplane made an abrupt turn to the left and started to spin around. As the airplane continued to skid; it went into the grass and came to rest 180 degrees from touchdown direction. The plane was inspected and found to have a flat spot on the left tire. The tires only had approximately 50 hours on them. This would be consistent with a left brake lock-up. The brake system will be inspected by an ia to determine any anomalies.
