## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: THE PILOT STATED; ALTHOUGH THE CLEARANCE WAS -RUNWAY 5L- TO WHICH HE ACKNOWLEDGED AND HAVING FLOWN OUT OF CLE FOR SEVERAL HUNDREDS OF HOURS, HE DID NOT VERIFY RWY 5L AS THE DEPARTURE RWY. HE TAXIED ONTO RWY 23R AND APPLIED POWER GRADUALLY. (THINKING IF I AM GOING THE WRONG WAY ATCT WILL CORRECT ME) ATCT DID QUESTION HIM AND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS BACK TRACKING? ABOUT THAT TIME HE BECAME AIRBORNE ON (23R) THEN FOLLOWED THE APPROPRIATE ATCT CLEARANCE NOW GIVEN TO HIM. THE PILOT FURTHER STATED: THAT HE RECEIVED GROUND TRAINING WHICH WAS VERIFIED BY THE FBO, AND HAD SINCE UTILIZED THE CLE AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER DIFFICULTIES. THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED ON THIS INCIDENT. AIRMAN COMPETENCE FAR VIOLATION - DEVIATION FROM ATC CLEARANCE AND INSTRUCTIONS - WITHOUT AMENDED CLEARANCE.

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.
