Control - Other involving a Cessna Aircraft Company A188B/A1, VH-KZE, 15km SW Moora, WA on 1 July 1993

The pilot had been operating from the slightly soft strip for several hours, with a 15 knot crosswind. He was using brake, as well as rudder, to keep the aircraft straight in the crosswind. The pilot had changed direction of take off so that one brake was not overused, but found that if he took off to the West, he encountered unacceptable turbulence, so he resumed easterly take offs. At about 50 knots during the accident take off, the left brake failed and the pilot lost directional control. The aircraft ground looped off the runway, causing the landing gear to collapse.
