## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE POSITIONING A/C FOR RUNUP, PILOT FAILED TO NOTICE LOCATION OF TAXIWAY LIGHT AND PROPELLER HIT ONE LIGHT. PILOT DID NOT DETECT STRIKE UNTIL AFTER LANDING AT DESTINATION AND ON POSTFLIGHT DISCOVERED TWO DAMAGED PROP BLADES. HE THEN CALLED BDL ATCT TO REPORT INCIDENT AND POSSIBILITY OF FOD ON TAXIWAY.

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.
