## Narrative

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

(-23) ON MAY 28, 2006, AT APPROXIMATELY 12:56 P.M., THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMIT^ LANDED CESSNA N6710M ON RUNWAY 34L (LEFT) AND THEN TURNED LEFT ON TAIXWAY L (LIMA) AND STRUCK A TAXIWAY LIGHT, CAUSING SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY D^ SAID IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THIS OFFICE THAT AS HE WAS FLYING OVER THE SIERRA MOUNTAINS AT ABOUT 5 TO 7 MILES WEST, NORTHWEST OF RENO, NV, HE ENCOUNTERED WINDSHEAR AND TURBULENCE CAUSING HIS GLASSES TO FALL TO THE FLOOR OF THE AIRPLANE. HE HAD A SECOND PAIR OF GLASSES IN HIS FLIGHT BAG THAT HE COULD NOT REACH DUE TO THE TURBULENCE. HE LANDED THE AIRPLANE SAFELY WITHOUT DIFFICULTY, WITH ONLY ONE LENS. HE TURNED OFF THE RUNWAY ONTO THE TAXIWAY AND FOR SOME REASON DID NOT STOP THE AIRPLANE TO CHANGE FREQUENCY (STILL WITH ONLY ONE LENS) AND HIT THE TAXIWAY LIGHT.

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.
