## Narrative

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

(-23) ON APRIL 6, 2005, THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING TO THE FBO, BUT MISTOOK THE AIRPORT SERVICE ROAD FOR THE TAXIWAY. THE AIRCRAFT SCRAPED A SIGN AND STRUCK A LIGHT POLE. THE RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE, WITH THE ROBERTSON CONVERSION, WAS DENTED IN ABOUT 3 INCHES, WITH DAMAGE EXTENDING FROM A POINT 4 FEET FROM THE WING TIP TO 6 FEET FROM THE WING TIP. THE WING TIP FAIRING WAS CRACKED AND SCRAPED.

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.
