## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THE TOWER HAD CLEARED HIM TO LAND ON RUNWAY 19R AT R.L. JONES AIRPORT IN JENKS, OK. AT APPROXIMATELY 200 FT. ABOVE GROUND LEVEL AND 1/4 MILE FROM THE RUNWAY THE PILOT EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY WITH THE AILERON CONTROL SYSTEM. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT THE AILERONS FELT LIKE THEY WERE NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY AND HE VERBALLY INDICATED THE PROBLEM TO HIS PASSENGER. UPON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT VEERED HARD LEFT AND DEPARTED THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A TAXIWAY MARKER CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE NOSE WHEEL, HORIZONTAL STABILIZER, LOWER RUDDER AND PROPELLER. THE PILOT MENTIONED THE POSSIBILITY THAT HE COULD HAVE BEEN TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE AILERON PROBLEM AND LANDED WITH TOO MUCH RUDDER CONTROL CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO VEER LEFT. THE AILERON AND RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEMS WERE EXAMINED BY FAA INSPECTORS AS WELL AS A MECHANIC AND FOUND TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

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.
