## Narrative

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

ON 10/21/22 AT 2:51 EST, THE STUDENT PILOT^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ A PA28-235, WAS PRACTICING SOLO TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AT CHESTER COUNTY G O CARLSON AIRPORT (MQS). DURING THE FIRST LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON RUNWAY 29, THEN   IMMEDIATELY VEERED TO THE LEFT, AND CONTINUED OFF THE RUNWAY UNTIL THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND, COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR AT WHICH TIME THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST ON A BERM.

AIRPORT SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWED THE AIRCRAFT ON FINAL APPROACH AND, UPON LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT LOWERED ITS RIGHT WING, SCRAPING IT ON THE RUNWAY AFTER TOUCHDOWN BEFORE VEERING LEFT AND CONTINUING ITS ROLL BEFORE THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.

POST-INCIDENT INVESTIGATION IDENTIFIED A FLAT LEFT MAIN TIRE, WITH A FOREIGN NAIL-LIKE FOD OBJECT EMBEDDED IN THE TREAD OF THE TIRE.

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.
