## Narrative

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

ON 8/17/2018 AT TUCSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (TUS) AT ABOUT 0930 PDT, N5487T, CE-182-RG, WAS INVOLVED IN A RUNWAY EXCURSION UPON LANDING ROLLOUT ON RWY 11R.  PILOT FLEW TO KTUS FROM KAVQ THAT MORING AND OBTAINED THE WEATHER FOR KTUS. IT WAS SUNNY, THE SKY WAS CLEAR AND THE REPORTED WINDS FAVORED EITHER RUNWAY (RWY) 11L OR 11R.  ONCE KTUS APPROACH HANDED N5487T OFF TO THE TOWER CONTROLLER, TOWER ASSIGNED RWY 11R TO THE PILOT. TOWER INSTRUCTED PILOT TO ENTER ON THE BASE LEG, THEN CLEARED PILOT TO LANDED ON RWY 11R.  PILOT CAME OVER THE THRESHOLD AND TOUCHED DOWN CLOSE TO CENTER LINE OF RWY 11R AT ABOUT 70 KTS.  AIRCRAFT SETTLED TO THE GROUND AND PILOT APPLIED BRAKES FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN HE FELT SOMETHING HIT THE STARBOARD SIDE TIRE.  THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT THE PAVEMENT.  THE PILOT RELEASED THE BRAKES AND PRESSED ON THE LEFT RUDDER PEDAL TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DIRECTION CHANGE BACK TO THE LEFT TO REENTER THE RUNWAY.   THE PILOT SLOWED THE AIRCRAFT DOWN TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER AND REENTERED THE RWY 11R.  TOWER CONTACT PILOT TO ASK IF EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE AIRCRAFT, AND PILOT RESPONDED HE IS UNSURE AND MAY HAVE BLOWN A TIRE. TOWER DISPATCHED EMERGENCY VEHICLES.  PILOT TAXIED BETWEEN RWY 121R AND 11L AND CAME TO A STOP AND SHUT DOWN THE AIRCRAFT.  PILOT EXITED AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THAT HIS TIRES WERE NOT FLAT.  EMERGENCY PERSONAL ARRIVED AND POINTED OUT PLASTIC TRIM DAMAGE TO STARBOARD ELEVATOR AND YELLOW MARKING ON FRONT TIRE FROM A LIGHT THAT WAS RAN OVER BY THE AIRCRAFT.   AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED THAT DAY BACK TO OWNER BY THE NTSB AFTER A FEW EXCHANGES OF PHOTOS OF THE AIRCRAFT BETWEEN THE NTSB AND THE PILOT.   PILOT LATER STOPPED BY A FLIGHT SCHOOL AND SPOKE WITH AN CFI AND DID A RIDING ALONG ON TO OBSERVE HIS LANDINGS AND TECHNIQUE TO MAKE SURE HE WAS NOT DOING ANYTHING INCORRECTLY AND LOGGED 3 HOURS OF TRAINING ON TOUCH AND GOES AND OTHER LANDINGS.  PILOT RECEIVED TRAINING ON HIS OWN MERIT AND WAS NOT INSTRUCT BY THE FAA OR NTSB THAT IT WAS REQUIRED.  PILOT NEVER HEARD ANYTHING FROM AIRPORT ABOUT CLEANING THE RUNWAY AFTER HE HIT DEBRIS ON THE RUNWAY.

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.
