## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT TAXIING IN CONTROLLED AREA OF AIRPORT AT NIGHT. PARKING AREA LIGHTING WAS MINIMAL.  AN FBO HAD LEFT AN ELECTRIC CART (GOLF CART) PARKED IN A SHADOWED AREA USED FOR TAXIING TO/FROM PRIVATE HANGAR AREA.  PILOT COULD NOT SEE CART.  NO VIOLATION DETERMINED.

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.
