## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT TAXIING AFTER LANDING, NOSED OVER IN SMALL DRAINAGE DITCH, COVERED WITH 2 FOOT TALL GRASS. DAMAGE WAS TO LEADING EDGE OF LEFT WING TIP FAIRING, A BROKEN UPPER WINDOW ASSEMBLY (TOP DECK) AND SUPPORT CHANNEL, SLIGHT WRINKLING TO WING ROOT FAIRING (LOWER) BOTH SIDES OF CABIN, AND A SLIGHT BEND TO ONE ENGINE MOUNT TUBE ON LOWER LEFT SIDE.

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.
