## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN RUNWAY HEADING WHILE ROLLING OUT ON RUNWAY 18. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT, STRUCK RUNWAY EDGE LIGHTS AND CROSSED TAXIWAY CROSSOVER A3, WHICH COLLAPSED THE NOSEGEAR. THE AIRCRAFT THEN CONTINUED ACROSS THE TAXIWAY AND STRUCK THE TAXIWAY SIGN, SUSTAINING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WING.  POST ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE LEFT RUDDER TELEFLEX CABLE REQUIRED EXCESSIVE PRESSURE TO MOVE. THIS PREVENTED THE PILOT FROM BEING ABLE TO APPLY RIGHT RUDDER OR NOSEWHEEL STEERING TO CORRECT THE AIRCRAFT'S PATH.
