## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATEMENT (ATTACHED) INDICATES THE FLYING PILOT, MR. SAIZ, EXECUTED A NORMAL LANDING APPROACH FOR RUNWAY 22L (FFZ). THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT APPROACH SPEED WAS NORMAL AND CORRECT VASI INDICATIONS WERE DISPLAYED. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN IN THE FIRST 3RD OF THE RUNWAY AND THE SPEED BRAKES WERE DEPLOYED AND THE THRUST REVERSERS WERE ARMED. WHEN REVERSE THRUST WAS APPLIED THE AIRCRAFT YAWED TO THE LEFT AFTER WHICH MAXIMUM (DIFFERENTIAL) BRAKING WAS APPLIED TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT AND MAINTAIN RUNWAY ALIGNMENT. DURING THE ROLLOUT THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO THE OVERRUN. THE PAX CREW EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO A MAINTENANCE FACILITY FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIRS. THREE OF THE TIRES WERE FLAT SPOTTED AND ONE TIRE WAS BLOWN. FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THE WHEELS AND HARDWARE WERE SENT OUT FOR INSPECTION. LATER INSPECTION OF THE THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE OF THE THRUST REVERSER WAS DUE TO A FAULTY LIMIT (MICRO) SWITCH. THE PILOT WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND SENT ALL SUPPORTING INFORMATION TO AID IN THE INVESTIGATION.

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.
