## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT AND VEERED OFF RUNWAY.  UPON INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE CABLE THAT EXTENDED THE TAIL WHEEL WAS BROKEN IN TWO AND THE TAIL WHEEL FAILED TO EXTEND WHEN THE LANDING GEAR WAS PLACED IN THE DOWN AND LOCKED POSITION.  A PORTION OF THE TAIL WHEEL LANDING GEAR MADE FROM STEEL WAS EXPOSED BELOW THE LOWER SKIN AND SCRAPED ON THE RUNWAY UNTIL THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO A STOP.

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.
