Narrative:
After landing at lancaster; we experienced a directional control problem that resulted in a sharp right turn and we exited the paved surface onto the grass. There was no damage to the aircraft or injuries to personnel. The landing was on runway 13 at lancaster. The wind was from about 160 degrees at 10-15 KTS (my recollections). The approach and landing seemed normal. At this writing I am somewhat at a loss to explain the event. The aircraft is being inspected by maintenance.
