## Narrative

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

(-23) AT 90 KNTS THE PIC RELEASED NOSE WHEEL STEERING AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED AN UNCOMMANDED RIGHT TURN. AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RIGHT SIDE OF RUNWAY AND WENT APPROXIMATELY 3500 FEET THROUGH THE GRASS ALONG SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT HIT THE 4000 AND 3000 FOOT REMAINING SIGNS. AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE RUNWAY WITH APPROXIMATELY 2000 FEET REMAINING AND CAME TO A STOP. PIC TAXIED AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE HANGAR. CREW LOOKED OVER THE AIRCRAFT, NOTIFIED THE MAINTENANCE PEOPLE, AND LEFT. INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT REVEALED NOSEWHEEL STEERING INSTALLED INCORRECTLY AND THE ANTISKID HARNESS FOR THE RIGHT INBOARD WHEEL ASSEMBLY CUT IN HALF.

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.
