## Narrative

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

(-23)I WAS DOING AN IFR PLAN FROM LEX TO DVK. I WAS TAXING TO RUNWAY 22, AND THE WIND WAS 310 AT 07. AN ASA REGIONAL JET WAS HOLDING SHORT AT 22 ON TAXIWAY A.  TOWER ADVISED ME IF I TOOK TAXIWAY A-5 1 WOULD BE NUMBER ONE FOR TAKEOFF.  AS I TURNED TO TAKE TAXIWAY A-5 THE RIGHT WING OF THE C-172R LIFTED UP AND THE AIRCRAFT TURNED 90 DEGREES TO THE LEFT ON THE LEFT MAIN TIRE AND NOSE WHEEL.  I ASKED TOWER IF I COULD PULL OFF ON RUNWAY 26/A-5 TO CHECK FOR DAMAGE.  AFTER DETERMINING A PROP STRIKE HAD OCCURRED, I ADVISED GROUND THAT I NEED TO TAXI BACK TO RAMP.

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.
