## Narrative

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

UPON LANDING AT JEKYLL ISLAND, AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY VEERED TO THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE RUNWAY.  AFTER APPROXIMATELY 500’, AIRCRAFT TURNED RIGHT TO REJOIN RUNWAY CAUSING THE NOSE LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE.  THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED IN A SKID CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS, NOSE GEAR, WHEEL WELL, SKIN REMOVAL FROM FORWARD OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOORS TO LOWER RADOME AND DAMAGE TO BOTH ENGINE/PROPELLERS.  THE OVERALL TOUCH-DOWN-STOP-DISTANCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1300’.

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.
