## Narrative

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

(-23) NW 1566 BECAME DEEPLY EMBEDDED IN THE SNOW AND ICE WHILE TAXIING AT DCA. THE CREW WAS EXITING RUNWAY 19 VIA A RIGHT TURN ONTO RUNWAY 22. RATHER THAN CONTINUING THE RIGHT TURN ONTO TAXIWAY D, THE CREW CONTINUED ONTO A CLOSED PORTION OF RUNWAY 22 AND THE AIRCRAFT BECAME STUCK IN ICE AND SNOW. THE AFFECTED AREA OF RUNWAY 22 WAS CLOSED BY THE METROPOLITAN WASHINGTON AIRPORT AUTHORITY (MWAA) AND THE INFORMATION DISSEMINATED TO NORTHWEST AIRLINES VIA FIELD CONDITION REPORT. THIS REPORT WAS MADE AVAILABLE TO THE CREW PRIOR TO THEIR FLIGHT WITHIN THE DISPATCH RELEASE. A TUG WAS ABLE TO FREE THE AIRCRAFT AND IT WAS TOWED TO THE GATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT,

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.
