## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT LANDED ON RUNWAY 18 AT SEDALIA MEMORIAL AIRPORT WITH WINDS REPORTED AT 7 KNOTS FROM 230 DEGREES. ON TOUCHDOWN, THE PILOT STATED THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED IMMEDIATELY LEFT. HE APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER AND REDUCED POWER TO IDLE WITH LITTLE EFFECT ON THE AIRCRAFT DIRECTIONAL TRAVEL. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT AND STRUCK AN ELEVATED RUNWAY LIGHT ASSEMBLY CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.
