Narrative:
Upon landing rollout the left brake rotor either picked up material on the runway or material from previous operations from a dry lake bed became lodged causing the aircraft to turn towards and onto a crossing taxiway and then come to rest next to the taxiway. No damage to aircraft or facilities at the airport. Suggestion: a more thorough preflight by pilot to insure brake rotors are clear when operating off of unprepared surfaces. If FOD on the runway was the cause; then no action by the pilot could have prevented the occurrence.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: WAG-A-BOND PILOT REPORTS OBJECT THROWN INTO LEFT BRAKE ON LANDING CAUSES ACFT TO VEER OFF RWY.
Narrative: UPON LNDG ROLLOUT THE L BRAKE ROTOR EITHER PICKED UP MATERIAL ON THE RWY OR MATERIAL FROM PREVIOUS OPS FROM A DRY LAKE BED BECAME LODGED CAUSING THE ACFT TO TURN TOWARDS AND ONTO A XING TXWY AND THEN COME TO REST NEXT TO THE TXWY. NO DAMAGE TO ACFT OR FACILITIES AT THE ARPT. SUGGESTION: A MORE THOROUGH PREFLT BY PLT TO INSURE BRAKE ROTORS ARE CLR WHEN OPERATING OFF OF UNPREPARED SURFACES. IF FOD ON THE RWY WAS THE CAUSE; THEN NO ACTION BY THE PLT COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE OCCURRENCE.
