From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On March 21, 2017 at approximately 7:40 p.m. EDT, a Cessna CE-550, N584PS, exited the right side of runway 36 with a locked right main wheel brake on landing at the Indianapolis Executive Airport (ktyq), Zionsville, Indiana. The aircraft received damage to the right main wheel hub. The two pilots and seven passengers were uninjured during the incident and subsequent evacuation. The aircraft is registered to farrel 5 LLC and operated under the provisions of 14 code of federal regulations (CFR) part 91 as a corporate flight. The ktyq 7:35 p.m. weather reported the wind at 340 degrees at nine knots, visibility 10 nautical miles, ceiling 7,000 feet broken, 12,000 feet overcast. The pilot filed an instrument flight plan.

The crew stated there were no abnormal indications with the brake or antiskid systems after the landing gear was down and locked. The flight crew followed the normal checklist procedures that verified the operational status of the brake and antiskid system. The pilot flying (pf) stated that as soon as the aircraft touched down on the runway, the aircraft started to veer to the right side of the runway. The pf attempted to steer the aircraft back to the runway centerline using left rudder. The aircraft continued to the right edge of the runway and exited into the grass.

The skid pattern showed the right main tire started skidding at or very soon after touching down within the touchdown landing zone and the aircraft near the runway centerline. The first skid pattern was approximately 468 feet long. The skid pattern then transitioned to a two-line pattern indicating tire deflation that was approximately 792 feet before the aircraft exited the runway. The total length of the skid pattern was approximately 1260 feet.
