Analysis
During the landing the pilot said she, '... Touched down softly on the main gear but when the nose wheel touched down, the plane pulled sharply to the left. The pilot tried to correct, but the airplane ran off the left side of the runway into the brush. The FAA found tire marks which indicated the airplane touched down on the left main gear and started moving to left. The FAA found no discrepancies with the landing gear, brakes, flight controls, airframe or engine.
