What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On touchdown, just after the nose wheel contacted the runway, the aircraft veered to the left. In an attempt to regain directional control the pilot applied right rudder but was unsuccessful. The pilot then attempted more right rudder, thrust reverser, and right brake but still no change. Skid marks on the runway were determined to be from the right tire and nose tire with no sign of left braking until the aircraft entered the grass area. The aircraft came to rest approximately 200' off the left side of the runway in the grass. The aircraft received substantial damage to include: the nose gear separated from the aircraft, the left gear was partially separated, the right gear collapsed into the wheel well resulting in a puncture hole through the top side of the wing, all 4 propeller blades were bent back. Additional minor damage was observed on the underside of the wings and fuselage as well.
