## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: PILOT STATED THAT AFTER TOUCHDOWN ABOUT FIFTY FEET INTO THE ROLLOUT AIRCRAFT BEGAN VEERING BADLY TO THE LEFT. APPLYING RIGHT BRAKE AND RIGHT RUDDER HAD NO EFFECT. THE RIGHT WING CAME UP AND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR WAS ALSO UP OFF THE GROUND WHICH FURTHER CAUSED LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO RUN OFF THE RUNWAY, WHERE IT CONTINUED TO TRAVEL FOR APPROXIMATELY 220 FEET, SHEARING THE NOSE WHEEL, DAMAGING THE LEFT WING TIP. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE NOSE GEAR COLLAR BEARING WAS EXTREMELY STIFF DUE TO SEVERAL OF THE NEEDLE BEARINGS BEING FROZEN. THE STRUT ASSEMBLY ALSO SHOWED SIGNS OF GALLING FROM THESE FROZEN NEEDLE BEARINGS. INTERMITTENT LOSS OF DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND THE "SENSITIVE" STEERING WAS MENTIONED BY THREE OF THE PILOTS EMPLOYED BY SKYDIVE LAS VEGAS DURING INTERVIEWS. A MECHANICAL OR DEFECT REPORT WAS SUBMITTED. THIS REPORT AND INVESTIGATION ARE CLOSED. NO NMAC OR PILOT DEVIATION OCCURRED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
