## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING RUNWAY 25 AT KRNO, AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF RUNWAY, HIT TWO AIRPORT SIGNS AND CAME TO REST ON RUNWAY 35R CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR PASSENGER.

THE NTSB ORDERED A MECHANICAL INSPECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT AND NO IRREGULARITIES WERE FOUND.  THE PLANE APPEARED TO GO OUT OF CONTROL RIGHT AT THE POINT OF TOUCHDOWN LEAVING HEAVY TIRE MARKS ON THE RUNWAY.

INSPECTOR LAO SPOKE TO THE PILOT SHORTLY AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND REPORTED THAT THE PILOT APPEARED DISORIENTED AND HAD TROUBLE REMEMBERING THE ACCIDENT.
