## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER LANDING ON THE SNOW COVERED RUNWAY THE FLIGHT WAS CLEARED BY ATCT TO TAKE ANY LEFT TURN AND TAXI TO THE RAMP. AFTER REFERRING TO THE TAXI DIAGRAM, THE CAPTAIN TURNED LEFT AND TAXIED ONTO WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS TAXIWAY B. THE AIRCRAFT BECAME STUCK IN THE SNOW. THE AIRCRAFT WAS SECURED THE PASSENGERS WERE BUSSED TO THE TERMINAL WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LOCATED IN AN UNPAVED AREA BETWEEN TAXIWAY B AND RWY 17/35.

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.
