## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: UPON CLEARING RUNWAY 34R, RIGHT ENGINE PROPELLER CAME IN CONTACT WITH TAXIWAY LIGHT, HALF WAY UP PROPELLER BLADE. PIC STATED THAT RAINY CONDITIONS MADE IT DIFFICULT SEEING YELLOW TAXIWAY LINE, AND FELT HURRIED BY ATC TO CLEAR THE RUNWAY. DID NOT SEE TAXIWAY LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT FROM HER POSITION IN THE LEFT SEAT.

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.
