AFTER REGAINING CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND COMING TO A STOP, AND BEFORE EXITING THE RUNWAY, THE PARKING BRAKE WAS SET AND THE BRAKES HELD.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS ABLE TO BE MOVED WITH THE BRAKES SET AND LOCKED.  WE THEN INFORMED THE TOWER THAT BRAKING ACTION WAS NIL AND ASKED THE TIME OF THE LAST REPORT.  THE LAST REPORT WAS TAKEN AT 1637Z AND CURRENT TIME WAS 1714Z.  WE TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE RAMP AND DEPLANED ALL PASSENGERS SAFELY.

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.
