Narrative:

We were cleared to land on runway 22L at boston logan airport. With a slick runway from previous precipitation, I opted to land with flaps at 20 degrees. Upon landing, aircraft began to veer to the left. With flight controls ineffective (rudder), maximum braking was applied. After using all measures to stop the aircraft, we came to a stop off the left side of the runway. After making sure all the passenger were okay, we notified ATC that we had a problem and I went to see what had happened. At first sight, I detected a flat tire on the left engine side of the airplane. Massachusetts port of authority came and opted to tow the aircraft to our hangar where it was released to maintenance by the FAA 2 hours later. We were commended for our hasty reaction and we felt very lucky that nothing really serious happened to the passenger and the aircraft.
