## Narrative

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

(-5)FULL STOP LANDING RUNWAY 34L.  LANDING WAS NORMAL UNTIL EXIT AT TAXIWAY A-2 WHEN PILOT NOTICED HE WAS HAVING DIRECTIONAL CONTROL PROBLEMS.  PILOT NOTIFIED TOWER AND SAID HE WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN AND CHECK TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LEFT MAIN OUTBOARD GEAR DOOR HAD COME LOOSE FROM TOPFORWARD ATTACH POINT, CAUSING DOOR TO ROTATE ON VERTICAL AXIS AFT AND DOOR TO CONTACT TIRE AND BRAKE LINE, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.

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.
