## Narrative

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

(-23) ON DECEMBER 14, 2001 THE PILOT OF A CESSNA 182, N9657G REQUESTED CLEARENCE TO DEPART RUNWAY 22 AT ATLANTIC CITY INT'L. AIRPORT (ACY). ONCE CLEARANCE WAS PROVIDED, MR. GERARD J. ASSELTA TAXIED ONTO THE RUNWAY AND ALIGNED THE A/C UP TO WHAT THE PILOT BELIEVED WAS THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE LIGHTS. THE A/C WAS ACTUALLY LINED UP ON THE RUNWAY EDGE LIGHTS. DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL THE A/C'S PROP STRUCK TWO OF THE RUNWAY EDGE LIGHTS. THE A/C CONTINUED THE ROLL AND DEPARTED THE TRAFFIC PATTERN. THE A/C LANDED RUNWAY 31 WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE PILOT INSPECTED THE A/C AND FOUND THE PROP STRIKE. HE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO CONTACT THE ACY TWR., BUT WAS NOT SUCCESSFULL. DURING AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PILOT, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE PILOT DID NOT HAVE A CURRENT FLIGHT REVIEW. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
