Event Description
The pilot reported that the airplane began to weathervane while turning off the runway onto the taxiway. Nosewheel steering was initiated but produced negative results. The pilot then applied full power on the thrust reversers. The airplane departed the taxiway and came to a stop in the grass. The pilot subsequently taxied forward, and the nosewheel collided with a cement pad, causing the nose gear to collapse.
Examination Findings
A post-event examination of the airplane revealed that the left-hand main gear assembly trailing link connectors for anti-skid transducers PW21 and PW23 were crossed. As a result, these transducers responded opposite to how they should have operated. No other anomalies were noted in the examination.
Operational Context
No additional details regarding the airplane type, registration, operator, location, date, time of day, weather conditions, or ATC involvement were provided in the source. Occupants, injuries, and damage beyond the nose gear collapse were not specified.
