"Maybe nobody will notice..."
 
Unique to the Twin Otter is a nose wheel steering ‘tiller’ on the left side of the base of the yoke similar to a turn signal stalk on a car. It’s a bit sensitive and one thing we would check is that the tiller is centered prior to landing. I can’t tell if it wasn’t centered or if it was just bumped at touchdown.

The beginning of the rollout appeared to be fine. Maybe the pilot thought he was just signalling a right turn.
