## Narrative

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

THE AIRMAN STATED THE INCIDENT OCCURRED ON HER THIRD LANDING. SHE WAS WEARING FLIP-FLOPS AND SHE DID NOT HAVE HER FEET HIGH ENOUGH ON THE RUDDERS TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES. SHE ALSO STATED THAT BY THE TIME SHE REALIZED HER FEET WERE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GET FULL BRAKING ACTION ON THE RUDDER PEDALS, THE AIRCRAFT MOMENTUM CAUSED HER TO GO SLIGHTLY OFF THE RUNWAY. SHE THEN TURNED OFF THE ENGINE IN FEAR OF HITTING ANY RUNWAY LIGHTS.

THE TOWER CONTACTED HER TO SEE IF SHE REQUIRED ASSISTANCE AND SHE REPLIED SHE DID NOT. SHE THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND TAXIED TO A PARKING SPOT.
