## Narrative

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

N9095S, A PT-6 CONVERSION MALIBU, DEPARTED THE PAVEMENT WHILE LANDING ON RUNWAY 36 AT SULLIVAN COUNTY AIRPORT (SIV).  THE WEATHER WAS VFR, WITH WINDS FROM 270 AT 10-14KT.  THE RUNWAY WAS CLEAR AND DRY.  BY REFERENCING THE MARKS ON THE RUNWAY AND GROUNDS, THE AIRCRAFT INITIALLY MOVED TO THE RIGHT AFTER NOSE WHEEL TOUCHDOWN FOLLOWED BY A DECREASING RADIUS LEFT TURN.  THE NOSE GEAR AND RIGHT MAIN TIRES LEFT RUBBER MARKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE LEFT TURN UNTIL OFF THE PAVEMENT AND A WITNESS INDICATED THAT THE LEFT MAIN GEAR LIFTED OFF THE PAVEMENT DURING THE TURN.  PROP IMPACT MARKS WOULD SEEM TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT OBSERVATION.  THE AIRCRAFT ENTERED SOFT GROUND OFF THE RUNWAY AND BEGAN TURNING BACK TO THE RIGHT UNTIL IT STOPPED JUST OFF, AND NEARLY PARALLEL TO THE RUNWAY, ABOUT 200 FEET FROM WHERE IT EXITED THE PAVEMENT.  THERE WERE DECREASING PROP IMPACT MARKS ALONG THE GROUND TRACK UNTIL FORWARD MOTION STOPPED DUE TO NOSE WHEEL COLLAPSE.  THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT PROPELLER DAMAGE BUT AIRFRAME DAMAGE WAS LIMITED. THE LOWER ENGINE COWL HAD MINOR DAMAGE AND NOSE GEAR ACTUATOR ROD WAS BENT AS THE GEAR COLLAPSED.  THERE WAS NO INJURY TO THE SOLE OCCUPANT.

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.
