What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On March 4, 2008, at riverside (rvs) airport, at 0030Z the pilot was attempting a VFR landing on 1L. The reported conditions were clear, with a reported 5 knot crosswind. The pilot reported a normal landing until the nose wheel touched down. At that point the pilot reported he experienced a severe shimmy and the aircraft veered off of the runway to the left. He kept the nose wheel up to prevent the propeller from striking anything. A runway light was damaged but there was no apparent damage to the aircraft. Christiansen's aircraft maintenance department inspected the aircraft and the nose wheel damper for damage. No damage was found. The pilot privacy data omitted reported that he had received additional instruction from his CFI prior to additional solo operations.
