## Narrative

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

(-23) COLGAN AIR FLIGHT NUMBER 8722 WAS ON A MAINTENANCE REPOSITION FLIGHT WITH THE LANDING GEAR PINNED DOWN FROM WASHINGTON DULLES (IAD) TO MANASSAS AIRPORT (HEF). TOUCHDOWN WAS NORMAL. THE PILOT WENT INTO REVERSE AS THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO VEER OFF CENTERLINE AT APPROXIMATELY 15 DEGREE ANGLE.  THE PILOT TRIED DIFFERENTIAL BRAKING, NOSE WHEEL STEERING AND WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE SAAB 340 ON THE RUNWAY.  THE BRAKES, ANTI-SKID, AND NOSE WHEEL STEERING WERE TESTED BY MAINTENANCE WITH NO DEFECTS FOUND.  THE TIRES AND HUBS WERE REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.

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.
