What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On August 14, 2021, at 1230 MDT, N9202T, a Cessna 180 skywagon, single engine reciprocating aircraft, privacy data omitted, was originating from Deming municipal airport (dmn) on a VFR flight when it sustained minor damage after a runway excursion. No flight plan was filed.
Shortly into the runway 8 departure roll, N9202T veered to the left, departed the runway and hit the precision approach path indicator (PAPI) before coming to a stop. There was significant damage to the PAPI and minor damage to the aircraft. The private pilot and his passenger were not injured.
The pilot was in a hurry to get out of dmn. There was no evidence of preflight planning. The left turning tendencies of a single engine aircraft at low speed, the wet runway and ineffective right brake exacerbated the situation to the point directional control was lost.
