## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT VEERED LEFT AFTER LANDING, EXITED THE RUNWAY, HITTING A TAXIWAY SIGN AND THEN A CHAIN LINK FENCE. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER HITTING THE SIGN. THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED MINOR DAMAGE. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE POWER WAS AT IDLE, AND HE WAS AT ABOUT 45 KNOTS WHEN THE DIVERGENCE BEGAN. THE TOWER CONTROLLER ON DUTY AT THE TIME WITNESSED THE EVENT. HE STATED THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE AIRPLANE WAS AT FULL POWER UP TO THE POINT THAT THE NOSE GEAR STRUCK THE SIGN AND COLLAPSED. EVIDENCE AT THE SCENE INDICATED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS TRAVELING MUCH FASTER THAN 45 KNOTS, BASED ON SKID MARKS THAT STARTED AS THE AIRPLANE LEFT THE RUNWAY AND CONTINUED UNTIL IT IMPACTED THE FENCE, AN ESTIMATED DISTANCE OF 300 FEET. THE DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER INDICATES THAT POWER WAS MUCH HIGHER THAN IDLE AT THE TIME THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND AFTER THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
