## Narrative

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

DURING LANDING ROLLOUT, PILOT FELT AND HEARD RIGHT WHEEL BRAKE DRAGGING. PILOT STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN ADEQUATE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, ALLOWING THE AIRPLANE TO DEPART THE PAVEMENT INTO THE GRASS. PILOT ALSO STATED THAT HE TRIED TO AVOID THE AIRPORT SIGNAGE, BUT STRUCK ONE SIGN. MINOR DAMAGE TO WHEELPANT AND ASSOCIATED ATTACHMENT HARDWARE. TOP OF SIGN CAUSED CREASE IN BOTTOM RIGHT WING SKIN. AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONSULTED DUE TO THE CREASE IN THE COMPOSITE SKIN.

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.
