Aircraft
On approach all indications were normal for landing. I landed within the touchdown zone and when I needed to use the brakes the left pedal went all the way to the floor with no brake. I then used aerodynamic braking to slow the aircraft while maintaining directional control. Once the aircraft was at a slower speed; I used the right brake a little to slow the aircraft to a stop on the runway; hitting one end light. Passengers were deplaned without any injuries and without further incident.
The pilot of a Cessna 402 discovered the left brake ineffective during the landing roll-out. He was able to slow the aircraft but contacted one runway end light prior to stopping.
