## Narrative

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

DURING LANDING ROLLOUT ON A PRIVATE GRASS LANDING STRIP. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED LEFT. THE PILOT COULD NOT OVERCOME THE LEFT TURN BY APPLYING FULL RIGHT BRAKE AND RUDDER. UPON EXITING THE LANDING STRIP THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A PIECE OF FARM EQUIPMENT.

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.
