Narrative:
On landing in VFR conditions with very light winds; the aircraft swerved hard to the right immediately after the nosewheel touched down. We landed on centerline with flaps at 45 degrees. I pressed the nosewheel steering disconnect but this did not correct the problem. The aircraft exited runway to the right side. We declared an emergency but did not need to evacuate. There were no injuries to the passenger or crew.
