## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: MR. ROBIDOUX STATED THAT HE TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE PARKING SPOT NEAR NORTHEAST AIR PROCEEDING TO RUNWAY 18 ON "C" (CHARLIE) TAXIWAY. HE STATED THAT WHEN HE TURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO DO A PRE-TAKE OFF RUN-UP, HE WASN'T GETTING PROPER RESPONSE FROM RUDDER PEDALS OR FROM THE BRAKES WHEN APPLIED. IMPROPER RESPONSE FROM THE BRAKES CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO LEAVE THE TAXIWAY AND AS A RESULT, THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE TAXIWAY LIGHT. MR. ROBIDOUX STATED THAT THE SEAT WASN'T FAR ENOUGH FORWARD AND HIS LEGS WEREN'T LONG ENOUGH TO PROPERLY MAKE A FULL TURN.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
