Approaching the loading area after landing, the pilot attempted to slow the aircraft down by selecting beta, but there was no response. Full reverse was then selected, which kicked in at the last minute, and the aircraft stopped successfully before revers ing itself down a slope. The aircraft was not controllable with the nose so high while going backwards. On numerous occasions over the previous months, the pilot had reported a sticking beta control to the engineering staff. They investigated the defects but could find no fault with the beta control system.
