## Narrative

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

(-23) THE STUDENT, UNDER AN AIR FORCE NAVIGATOR TRAINING PROGRAM, WAS TAXIING THE AIRPLANE AND LOST CONTROL ON AN ICY TAXIWAY. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE AIRPLANE FROM HITTING AN INFORMATIONAL SIGN. THE AIRPLANE HAD MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER, COWLING, AND WHEEL PANTS. NEITHER OCCUPANT WAS INJURED.

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.
