During a cross-country flight, the airline transport pilot chose an en route stop to refuel. During the landing roll, the airplane started to drift left, so the pilot applied the right brake and rudder to correct the turn; however, the brake “went to the floor.” The pilot was unable to correct the turn, and the airplane continued off the edge of the runway.
An examination of the braking system confirmed that the right brake was not functional, likely due to a failed seal.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s loss of directional control during landing due to the failure of the right brake seal.
