## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: DURING THE LANDING PHASE OF CARNIVAL 33 FROM ISP TO PBI, AIRCRAFT BECAME ENGULFED IN HEAVY THUNDERSTORM AND RAINSHOWERS REDUCING VISIBILITY TO ZERO. FOLLOWING TOUCHDOWN, AIRCRAFT DEPARTED RUNWAY 27R TO THE NORTH (RIGHT HAND SIDE) PARALLELING IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 1,000 FEET BEFORE REENTERING RUNWAY. RESULTING DAMAGE FROM STRIKING A TAXIWAY INFORMATION SIGN AND RUNWAY LIGHT WAS LIMITED TO LEFT ENGINE NOSE COWL FROM 6 O'CLOCK THRU 8 O'CLOCK POSITION AND NUMEROUS COMPRESSOR BLADES-MINOR DAMAGE. FLIGHTCREW WERE REMOVED FROM LINE STATUS AND GIVEN FAA OBSERVED PROFICIENCY CHECKS (PIC 8/8/96, SIC 8/15/96). FORMS 8710-1 SUBMITTED 8/20/96 BY PDI JOHN ROSEBOROUGH, PILOT AND AT CONTROLLER STATEMENTS AND AT TAPE VERIFIED THIS ACCOUNT OF INCIDENT (FLL 96IN170043). THIS INVESTIGATION AND REPORT ARE CLOSED.

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.
