## Narrative

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

(-23)THE PRIVATE PILOT OPERATING HIS OWN AIRCRAFT WAS TAXING ON A GRASS LANDING STRIP WITHOUT AN ASSIGNED TAXIWAY. HE TAXIED HIS AIRCRAFT TO THE END OF THE DEPARTURE RUNWAY AND AS HE WAS TURNING THE AIRCRAFT AROUND, IT STARTED TO SLIDE DOWN THE SLANTING INCLINE BECAUSE OF THE WET GRASS.  IT CAME TO REST AGAINST A TREE DAMAGING THE WINDSHIELD AND LEADING EDGE OF BOTH WINGS.

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.
