## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT STATED THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AT THE INITIAL POINT OF LANDING. AFTER LANDING, HE STATED HE FELT A LITTLE VIBRATION AND THEN LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE AIRCRAFT WENT OFF THE WEST SIDE OF RWY 13 LEFT AND GROUND LOOPED PRIOR TO REACHING TAXIWAY "C". THE LEFT TIRE WAS FOUND TO BE FLAT, THE LEFT WHEEL RIM AREA WAS DAMAGED, THE WHEEL FAIRING WAS DAMAGED, AND THE BOTTOM OF THE LEFT WING WAS SCRATCHED. THE BOTTOM OF THE AILERON ON THE LEFT WING HAD SMALL SCRATCHES AND SCRAPES.

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.
