Narrative:

After an annual aircraft inspection, the brakes were broken in following a standard procedure and repeatedly braking to a stop. I have used this procedure 12 times before on this aircraft with no problems. This time there was no braking action after the second stop. The aircraft continued on into the desert at the end of the taxiway and was damaged. The loss of braking action was probably due to overheating caused by too heavy braking and not enough time for cool-down.
