## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: TOLD BY GROUND TO TAXI, MADE A RIGHT ON WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS A TAXIWAY TO GO TO RUNWAY 31, WHICH GOT NARROW AND CHANGED SURFACE CONDITIONS, WENT TO TURN AROUND, SAW LOW SIGN JUST BEFORE HE HIT IT - SIGN WAS FACING THE OTHER WAY AND WARNED TO "BEWARE OF AIRCRAFT".

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.
