## Narrative

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

BEFORE DEPARTING THE AIRPORT (29S) THE PILOT COMPLETED A "TOUCH AND GO LANDING" THEN PROCEEDED ON AN APPROXIMATELY 2 HOUR FLIGHT. UPON RETURN TO THE AIRPORT (29S), THE PILOT STATED THAT THE APPROACH TO LANDING AND TOUCHDOWN WERE NORMAL, AT A SPEED LESS THAN 10 KNOTS, HOWEVER, IMMEDIATELY AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT MADE AN ABRUPT RIGHT TURN APPROXIMATELY 30-45 DEGREES FROM LANDING/RWY HEADING AND VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT PEDAL INPUTS DID NOT SEEM TO CORRECT OR COUNTER THE HEADING CHANGE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE RUNWAY AND ROLLED ONTO IT'S RIGHT SIDE DAMAGING THE MAIN ROTOR, PROPELLER, RIGHT SIDE FAIRINGS AND MAIN ROTOR MAST. THE PILOT SUSTAINED NO INJURIES, NO OTHER PERSONS ON BOARD.
