## Narrative

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

N734XH VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY INTO THE ADJACENT DIRT AREA AND STRUCK A RUNWAY LIGHT AFTER LANDING ON RUNWAY 12R AT KVGT.  THE PRIVATE PILOT (PIC) AND 1 PASSENGER DID NOT SUFFER ANY INJURY.  THE AIRCRAFT, A CESSNA 172, INCURRED MINOR DAMAGE (A DENT) ON THE LEFT MAIN GEAR STRUT FAIRING AS A RESULT FROM STRIKING A RUNWAY LIGHT.  THE PIC STATED THAT HE INCREASED HIS APPROACH SPEED BY 5 KNOTS AND LANDED WITH 20 DEGREES FLAPS DUE TO GUSTY WINDS BEING REPORTED BY TOWER AND THE AIRPORT ATIS.  THE PIC STATED THAT HE LANDED APPROXIMATELY 1000' FROM THE APPROACH END OF THE RUNWAY, SLIGHTLY LEFT OF THE CENTERLINE.  AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT SUDDENLY VEERED TO THE LEFT, AND THE PIC WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WITH THE RUDDER PEDALS.  WINDS REPORTED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WERE FROM 160/13 GUSTING TO 19 KNOTS.

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.
