What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Based on evidence collected at the scene and at the recovery facility, the aircraft nosewheel steering system veered left even with the right wheel brake fully applied leaving skid marks from both the nose and right main wheel for approximately 150 yards before exiting the runway. The failure causal factor could not be substantiated by visual examination of the wreckage.
