What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Pilot landed on runway 35L, at Denver International Airport (kden), at 2115L on January 12, 2007. On rollout, pilot turned on nosewheel steering in anticipation of turning off at M6 taxiway, but the aircraft swerved left and pilot was unable to correct this, and the aircraft departed the runway prior to M6 at a 45 degree angle, and went into a snow bank. The runway was closed for two hours until the aircraft was removed from the snow. There appeared to be no damage and the operator (key lime air) ferried the aircraft to centennial airport.
