## Narrative

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

(-23) A/C MADE UNCOMMANDED RIGHT TURN AFTER NOSE WHEEL TOUCHDOWN. IMMEDIATE CAUSE UNKNOWN. A/C LEFT RUNWAY SURFACE. NO KNOWN INJURIES OR DAMAGE. ON MARCH 24, 2001, A EMB-145, S/N 145131, REGISTERED AS N19966, BEING OPERATED AS C2XA FLIGHT 4141, LANDED AT "PIT" AND WENT OFF THE RUNWAY AFTER TOUCHDOWN. THE PASSENGERS WERE DEPLANED VIA AIR STAIRS AND BUSSED TO THE RAMP. MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE NOSE STEERING MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT WAS REPLACED. ALL OPS CHECKS AND THE FLIGHT TEST SHOWED NO DISCREPANCIES. THE DISCREPANCY DID REAPPEAR ON FOLLOWING FLIGHTS. THIS IS BEING FOLLOWED UP BY THE CHDO'S ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^. INVESTIGATION CLOSED AND FOLLOWED BY CHDO.

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.
