## Narrative

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

(-5) THE PILOT STATED THAT THE LANDING WAS NORMAL, AND AS THE NOSE WHEEL TOUCHED THE GROUND, THE AIRCRAFT TOOK AN ABRUPT TURN TO THE RIGHT AND THEN VEERED LEFT AND RIGHT UNTIL EXITING THE RUNWAY TO THE RIGHT. THE PILOT ALSO STATED HE HAD A OWNER DESIGNATED PILOT WITH HIM.

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.
