## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 30, 1998, 0800, DOROTHY NICHOLSON, PILOT OF CE-172(N4816G) HAD LANDED AT FULLERTON AIRPORT ON RUNWAY 6 AND WAS TAXING ON THE RUNWAY TO A TURNOFF POINT WHEN SHE TEMPORARILY LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR TIRE HIT TAXI SIGN.

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.
