From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

(-23) After landing the PIC hit an unlighted taxiway sign. There was a NOTAM issued for the unlighted taxiway sign, but, no flashing or temporary obstruction marker was present. Fog was also a factor. The PIC was counseled.
