Read the full NTSB narrative
When the pilot applied the airplane's wheel brakes during the landing roll on an asphalt runway, he heard a "metal clanging noise." The airplane veered off the right side of the runway and tipped over on the left wing. This landing was the pilot's first landing on an asphalt surface since the brakes had been serviced and the right brake pads replaced. Most of the pilot's previous landings had been performed on grass strips. During a postaccident examination, the right brake assembly was disassembled and no preaccident malfunctions were found with the brake, its associated brake lines, or the master cylinder.
