## Narrative

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

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE LANDED THE   AIRCRAFT SLIGHTLY LONG. HE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT STOP THE AIRCRAFT DUE TO LEFT  BRAKE FADE, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO TURN TO THE RIGHT. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE CROWNED AIRSTRIP AND A LIGHT CROSSWIND CONTRIBUTED TO HIS INABILITY TO MAINTAIN A STRAIGHT ROLL OUT, EVEN WITH FULL LEFT RUDDER. AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY NEAR A LOADING AREA, THE RIGHT LOWER WING CONTACTED A TRASH DUMPSTER. THIS CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO TURN RIGHT AND CONTACT A  STORAGE CONTAINER.  THE PILOT WAS UNINJURED AND THERE WAS NO FIRE.
