Narrative:
I made a good touchdown in the touchdown zone of runway 01 (wind calm; dry runway). When the nose wheel contacted the runway; the aircraft veered to the left. I tried to maintain runway centerline with rudder [and] tried to stop the plane with brakes and reverse thrust. The plane went [off] the runway and I stopped it at the grass (mud) in the security zone. All people on board were uninjured. I am sure that was a nose wheel steering malfunction. Maybe from exposure to cold temperatures.
