## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT ATTEMPTED TO LAND RUNWAY 6 ENDED UP RUNNING OFF AND COMING TO A STOP ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF RUNWAY 6 BETWEEN RUNWAY 13/31 AND TAXIWAY B. THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR AIRCRAFT DAMAGE.

DURING THE INTERVIEW, THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS STABILIZED DURING THE APPROACH AND LANDING BUT DURING THE ROLLOUT HE STARTED VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT TO THE LEFT USING RUDDER BUT IT CONTINUED TO VEER RIGHT OFF THE SIDE OF RUNWAY 6. THE STUDENT PILOT BELIEVED THAT HE MAY HAVE INADVERTENTLY STEPPED ON THE RIGHT BRAKE DURING THE ROLLOUT WHICH CAUSED THE INCIDENT. WHEN ASKED WHAT HE PLANNED TO DO TO ENSURE THIS KIND OF INCIDENT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE HE STATED HE WAS CURRENTLY RECEIVING ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTION ON TAKE-OFF AND LANDINGS ALONG WITH PROPER BRAKING TECHNIQUES IN ORDER TO GAIN PROFICIENCY BEFORE SEEKING TO SOLO AGAIN.

I ALSO CONTACTED THE STUDENT PILOT'S CFI AND HE CONFIRMED THAT THE STUDENT WAS RECEIVING ADDITIONAL FLIGHT INSTRUCTION FROM THE LEAD CFI AT ATP FLIGHT SCHOOL WHICH CONSISTS OF TAKE OFF AND LANDINGS AND PROPER BRAKING TECHNIQUES. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE STUDENT AND LEAD CFI ARE PLANNING TO FLY TO ABE TOGETHER AND PRACTICE TAKE OFF AND LANDINGS THERE TO ENSURE THE STUDENT IS PROFICIENT BEFORE SIGNING HIM OFF TO SOLO AGAIN.

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.
