## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING ON RUNWAY 24, TURN OFF ON TAXIWAY A-4, CROSS PARALLEL (ALPHA) TAXIWAY, THE PILOT TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT INTO A DRAINAGE DITCH OF THE NON MOVEMENT AREA. THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR TRUNNION BROKE AND FOLDED INTO THE RIGHT FLAP. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED DAMAGE TO LOWER WING SKIN IN THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR AREA. ALL THREE BLADES OF THE RIGHT PROPELLER WERE DAMAGED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT AND PASSENGER. THE BLUE LIGHT ON THE TAXIWAYS WERE OPERATONAL. THE AIRCRAFT TAXI LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING (INOPERATIVE) AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT.

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.
