Factual narrative

THE PILOT WAS ON A FLIGHT TO DELIVER THE AIRCRAFT FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. HE STATED THAT HE LOST RIGHT BRAKING ACTION AS HE WAS APPROACHING THE MAINTENANCE HANGER. HE ATTEMPTED TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WITH PROPELLER REVERSING, BUT THE LEFT WING HIT THE CORNER OF THE HANGER. THE AIRCRAFT THEN PIVOTED INTO THE HANGER AND STRUCK A PARKED BEECH 58P, N5408P. AN EXAMINATION REVEALED THAT THE HYDRAULIC RESERVOIR HAD ONLY 1/2 INCH OF FLUID. AFTER THE RESERVOIR WAS SERVICED, THE RIGHT SHUTTLE VALVE WAS FOUND TO BE LEAKING. THE O-RING SEAL CONNECTING THE PILOTS RIGHT BRAKE PEDDLE TO THE SHUTTLE VALVE WAS FOUND UNSEATED, ALLOWING FLUID PASSAGE.
