## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: N401AJ DEPARTED PWA ENROUTE TO AMW. CAPTAIN RECEIVED NOTAM THAT AMW HAD LOOSE SNOW ON RUNWAYS. CAPTAIN CALLED FBO AT AMW AND RECEIVED SAME REPORT THAT LOOSE SNOW WAS ON THE RUNWAYS AND BRAKING ACTION WAS REPORTED AS "POOR". AFTER LANDING AT AMW ON RUNWAY 1, THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED THE FULL LENGTH OF THE RUNWAY BUT EXPERIENCED "NIL" BRAKING ACTION AND COULD NOT TURN ONTO THE TAXIWAY. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE RUNWAY AT THE DEPARTURE END. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.

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.
