What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On July, 18 2013, at approximately 1825 MST, N886PS, a Cessna CE-206 left runway 03 and came to a stop in the gravel to the side of the runway.
The pilot stated, in a telephone interview conducted on July 24, 2013 at 0730 am, that he had taxied the aircraft to runway 3. ATIS information ?w? Reported the winds out of the northwest at 8 knots.
The pilot said that after take off, he had to tap the brakes because the wheels felt a bit rough during spin-down.
On final, the pilot asked for a wind check. The winds were reported, by the tower, to be at 6 KTS gusting to 12 knots. The pilot did not specify the direcion of the wind during the phone interview.
The pilot stated that, after touchdown, the aircraft veered to the right. He attempted to stop the aircraft while keeping it on the runway. However, the pilot was not able to stop on the runway. He then decided that if he did not allow the aircraft to exit the runway, he might tip the aircraft. The pilot assessed that he would be able to exit the runway without striking runway/taxiway lights or signs.
Shortly after the pilot allowed the aircraft to leave the runway, the aircraft stopped.
The pilot noted that the nosewheel fairing was cracked, but there appeared to be no significant damage to the aircraft.
The nosewheel fairing was removed and the right tire was replaced due to wear from the prolonged skidding.
The pilot stated that the mechanic, employed by landmark aviation, Scottsdale, AZ, who serviced his aircraft reported no irregularities with the wheel assembly.
An airworthiness and operations inspector from this office inspected the aircraft and work orders for repairs following the incident.
The aircraft appeared to be in good condition and had the nose wheel fairing removed. The work orders show that the aircraft had the nosewheel fairing removed, the right tire was replaced, and the right brake and landing gear were inspected with no obvious defects. The aircraft was returned to service after the above items were completed
