## Narrative

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

DURING THE FINAL APPROACH TO RUNWAY 18, THE PILOT ALIGNED THE AIRCRAFT APPROPRIATELY AND EXECUTED STANDARD CROSSWIND AND DOWNWIND RADIO CALLS. THE AIRSPEED WAS REDUCED TO 80 KNOTS AS THE DESCENT CONTINUED TOWARDS THE RUNWAY FOR A CENTERLINE APPROACH. UPON INITIAL TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A BOUNCE, LEADING TO A SECOND CONTACT WITH THE RUNWAY. THIS UNEXPECTED BOUNCE STARTLED THE PILOT, RESULTING IN AN EXCESSIVE APPLICATION OF THE RIGHT BRAKE PEDAL. CONSEQUENTLY, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE. THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT WING LEADING EDGE IMPACTED AN AIRPORT SIGN, IN THE PROCESS OF THE UNCONTROLLED EXITING OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT EVENTUALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP OFF THE RUNWAY SURFACE.

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.
