## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING A FLIGHT TO THIS UNIMPROVED, BUT GRADED DIRT LANDING STRIP, THE PILOT STATED THAT AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A SOFT SPOT IN THE OTHERWISE ACCEPTABLE LANDING AREA AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED A TURN THAT HE COULD NOT CORRECT. THE PILOT APPLIED MAXIMUM CORRECTIVE ACTION WITHIN THE AIRCRAFT CONTROL AUTHORITY, BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO TURN AND LEFT THE RUNWAY. A SMALL DITCH WAS ENCOUNTERED SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTING THE GRADED SURFACE AND THE NOSEWHEEL BROKE OFF. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST WITH THE NOSE DOWN. THE PASSENGERS AND PILOT EXITED THE AIRCRAFT. THERE WAS NO POST CRASH FIRE AND NO INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS.
