## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING AND TAIL TOUCHDOWN THE TAILWHEEL CAME UNLOCKED (FULL CASTOR) WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO VEER OFF THE RUNWAY CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND NO PILOT INJURIES.

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.
