## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING ROLL LANDING ROLL OUT AIRCRAFT BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. PILOT STATED THAT HE MANAGED TO GET THE AIRCRAFT OFF THE RUNWAY AND ON THE TAXIWAY. HOWEVER THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNABLE TO CONTINUE DUE TO THE NOSE WHEEL THROUGH BOLT COMING LOOSE. THIS ALLOWED THE NOSE TIRE TO ROTATE AND BECOME WEDGED IN THE FORKS OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR.

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.
