## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE TAXIING THIS AIRCRAFT AFTER LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR EXITED THE TAXIWAY AND BECAME LODGED IN THE MUD AT THE INTERSECTION OF TAXIWAY "WM" AND "WA".

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.
