Narrative:During the dual instructional flight, with the flight instructor at the controls, the twin-engine airplane landed halfway down the 2,640-foot sod runway. As it neared the east end of the runway, the aircraft was intentionally 'ground looped' to keep it from crossing a road and going into trees. The aircraft exited the runway to the left, crossed a ditch, and came to a stop in the eastbound lane of a highway. The pilot, who was being checked out in the airplane, reported that after touchdown, the flaps were retracted, and the brakes were applied. However, there 'appeared to be no brakes.' The brakes were pumped, and again there 'appeared to be no brakes.' An FAA inspector examined the brakes and performed an operational check. No preexisting anomalies were found, and the brakes functioned properly.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor's failure to attain the proper touchdown point during the landing.
