Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot flying stated that he had recently completed simulator training in the airplane type and that the accident flight was his first flight in an actual airplane of that type. The pilot-in-command had the pilot flying sit in the left seat for the flight and allowed him to perform the approach and landing. During preflight and while airborne, the pilots discussed braking procedures and techniques, which included the need to apply braking evenly and firmly. During landing, the pilot applied brakes, and, a few seconds later, the airplane began swerving left and right. The airplane exited the runway and stopped. The airplane was equipped with a flight data recorder, and no anomalies were noted in the data that would have contributed to the accident. The accident likely occurred as a result of the pilot's improper brake application, which resulted in the loss of directional control.
