Weather; Aircraft
During the landing rollout; after all three wheels were firmly on the ground and brakes were being applied; the airplane began to yaw to the right. At the same time; the right suspension settled down and the left wing rose significantly. I could not steer the airplane back towards the center line. I then brought the airplane to a stop via braking. Upon coming to a stop; I applied power to attempt to move and steer the airplane with neither being successful. The entire event was felt the same as a blown tire would. I then told the tower we had blown a tire and requested to shut down engines. After gaining permission; we shut down the engines and awaited city employees. After a city car arrived and circled the airplane to inspect the damage; I alone exited the airplane to speak with him and inspect the airplane myself. He informed me there appeared to be no damage; and I verified this with my own inspection of the tires and landing gear struts. I then decided to start the engines and attempt to move the airplane. Upon advising the tower; I started engines and applied power. The airplane moved normally. We then taxied to the gate with no further incident. It is my opinion; after observing no bald spots on the tires; that a gust of wind from the left lifted the left wing significantly and at the same time the right brake locked up or would not release from an applied position. After letting the airplane rest for a few minutes; the sticky brake may have released itself allowing movement as normal.
