## Narrative

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

UPON TOUCHDOWN ON RUNWAY 36R, THE AIRCRAFT PORPOISED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE GOING OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY IN A SLIGHT SKID TO THE LEFT, LEAVING A BLACK MARK FROM THE LEFT TIRE. ONCE THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY, IT STRUCK A TAXI LIGHT WITH THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR/WHEEL PANT. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO TRAVEL FORWARD WITH THE LEFT WHEEL ENTERING THEN EXITING MEDIAN GRASS, STRIKING A SECOND TAXI LIGHT WITH THE NOSE GEAR/WHEEL PANT. AFTER HITTING THE SECOND TAXI LIGHT, THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED ALL THE WAY ACROSS TAXI WAY C6 IN A SLIGHT LEFT SKID, WITH THE LEFT TIRE LEAVING ANOTHER 250 FOOT BLACK MARK. THE ENTIRE AIRCRAFT THEN CONTINUED INTO THE MEDIAN GRASS BETWEEN TAXIWAYS C6 AND C5. (THE MEDIAN CONTAINED A MESH-COVERED SOD WHICH HAD RECENTLY BEEN INSTALLED). THE MESH-COVERED SOD BUNCHED UP IN FRONT OF EACH OF THE LANDING GEAR WHEEL PANTS AS THE AIRCRAFT TRAVELED THROUGH THE GRASS, DISSIPATING THE FORWARD ENERGY OF THE AIRCRAFT AND BRINGING THE AIRCRAFT TO REST. (REF. ID #202000310)

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.
