What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: pilot reported that the flight had been cleared for take-off. Shortly after take-off power had been applied, the aircraft began to veer to the left. The pilot reported that she reduced power, brought the aircraft back to the center of the runway and re-applied take-off power. Shortly after power was set, the aircraft veered again sharply to the left. Despite the application of maximum braking and reverse thrust on the right engine, the aircraft departed the runway. The aircraft came to a stop approximately 20 feet off the edge of the runway. No injuries to passengers or crew, nor damage to the aircraft. Inspection revealed that the left outboard brake had seized. This was evidenced by long skid marks on the runway, and by the fact that maintenance personnel had to be called to release that brake prior to the aircraft being towed back to the ramp. This report closes this investigation.
