What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot stated that during landing the aircraft touched down at a normal speed and within the first 1,000 feet of the runway. He added that he felt the left brake did not work a well as the right causing the aircraft to veer off the runway and into a ditch. Damage was done to the right propeller. The airport manager, frank speer, was working on the approach lighting system at the end of the runway when the aircraft landed and witnessed the incident. He stated in a telephone interview that the aircraft touched down at least 3,000 feet down the runway and at what looked like a higher than normal rate of speed. He added that there were skid marks from both tires on the runway although the right tire mark was heavier. Mechanic, mike wagner, of wal mart inc., examined the brakes after the incident and reported that both brakes were working normally although the left one may have been slightly harder.
