## Narrative

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

ACFT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL ON LANDING, RAN OFF THE RWY, AND CAME TO REST NOSE FIRST IN A DITCH. (-23) RUNWAY 16/34 WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT FOR THE SEALING OF CRACKS IN THE ASPHALT. PER NOTAM THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY WAS IN USE. THE PILOT LANDED ON THE TAXIWAY (34) AND HE STATED THAT WHEN HE FLARED TO LAND HE LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THIS WAS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THE LEFT EDGE OF THE NARROW TAXIWAY. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED RIGHT AND STRUCK THE DRAINAGE DITCH, ENDING UP ON IT'S NOSE AND UPPER LEFT WING TIP CAUSING SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.
