## Narrative

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

(-23) ON LANDING ROLL, THE PILOT APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW THE AIRCRAFT, AND THE LEFT BRAKE LOCKED UP CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO LEAVE THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT, HIT THE VASI LIGHTS WITH THE RIGHT WING, THEN THE LEFT BRAKE RELEASED AND THE PILOT STEERED THE PLANE BACK TO THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT, SHUTDOWN, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE RAMP.

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.
