## Narrative

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

(-23) PIC ADVISED THAT AFTER LANDING HE WAS TAXIING BETWEEN TAXIWAY E4 & E5 AND ACCIDENTLY TURNED BEFORE THE RAMP, TURNING INTO THE GRASS. THE AIRCRAFT WENT DOWN INTO A 7 FT. WATER RETENTION POND, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROP. AN FAA INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES WITH THE AIRCRAFT BRAKES OR STEERING. ON THE PASSENGER SEAT THE UNDERSIGNED FAA INSPECTOR OBSERVED A HALF FULL BOTTLE OF SKYWAY VODKA.

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.
