## Narrative

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

(-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.

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.
