## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT MADE A NORMAL VFR LANDING ON RUNWAY 23 AT AKRON-CANTON AIRPORT (CAK), AND UPON ROLLOUT APPROXIMATELY 1,250 FEET FROM THE RUNWAY 23 THRESHOLD, EXPERIENCED A RUNWAY EXCURSION.  THE AIRCRAFT MADE A SINGLE ABRUPT TURN TO THE RIGHT, EXITED RUNWAY 23, CROSSED RUNWAY 19, DESTROYED A LAHSO RUNWAY SIGN, AND CAME TO REST IN THE TURF OF THE AIRPORT MIDFIELD.  THE PROPELLER AND ENGINE SUSTAINED MODERATE DAMAGE.  NEITHER THE PILOT NOR SINGLE PASSENGER EXPERIENCED INJURIES.  THE CAK METAR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS 34007 10SM SCT042 26/12 A3016, INDICATING A RIGHT CROSSWIND OF 7 KNOTS AND A TAILWIND OF 2 KNOTS.

IN THEIR STATEMENTS, BOTH THE PILOT AND PASSENGER INDICATED A REALLY GOOD APPROACH, AND A GOOD LANDING.  THE AIRCRAFT MECHANIC WAS A WITNESS TO THE INCIDENT AND STATED THE APPROACH SEEMED FAST, AND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED ONCE BEFORE VEERING OFF THE RUNWAY.  DURING THE INTERVIEW, WHEN ASKED WHERE HIS SEAT (FORWARD RIGHT PASSENGER SEAT) WAS POSITIONED FOR LANDING, THE PASSENGER (APPROX. 6'5" TALL) AND PILOT BOTH ANSWERED AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE, ONLY THE PILOT WAS ON THE CONTROLS.

UPON INSPECTION RECOVERY, NO MECHANICAL DEFICIENCIES OR ABNORMALITIES WERE NOTED.  A 1 INCH CRACK IN THE FIREWALL WAS FOUND, BUT WAS DETERMINED TO HAVE BEEN PRESENT PRIOR THE INCIDENT.  THE LEFT FUEL TANK WAS NEAR EMPTY AND THE RIGHT FUEL TANK WAS NEAR FULL; APPROXIMATE IMBALANCE WAS 150 POUNDS, BUT NO LIMITATION WAS PLACED ON THE AIRCRAFT.  NO FLAT SPOTS OR OTHER DAMAGE WERE FOUND ON THE TIRES.

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.
