## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED THAT EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE OK AND CHECKLIST WAS COMPLETE.  UPON TOUCHDOWN THE MAIN LANDING GEAR (MLG) BRAKES SEEMED TO BE LOCKED UP.  THE LEFT TIRES BLEW AND THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF TO THE LEFT AND CAME TO A STOP  ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY JUST BEFORE ENTERING THE GRASS.  PILOT STATED THAT HE SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN AND ASSESSED THE SITUATION.  THE EMERGENCY AIR, ANTI SKID, AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS EITHER OK AND/OR WORKING.

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.
