## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT STATED THAT AFTER A NORMAL LANDING ON RUNWAY 28, HE TURNED OFF ON TAXIWAY N, THEN ONTO C, AND FINALLY ONTO D. A GUST OF WIND FROM HIS RIGHT STARTED TO PICK THE AIRCRAFT UP AT AN ATTITUDE THAT ALLOWED THE PROPELLER TO STRIKE THE TAXIWAY AND DRAG THE LEFT WINGTIP SLIGHTLY. THE AIRCRAFT WAS PUSHED OFF OF THE TAXIWAY, THROUGH THE GRASS AND ONTO THE ACCESS ROAD NEAR THE TENANT T-HANGARS. THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST UPRIGHT WITH THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE RESTING AGAINST A METAL SIGN POST. PILOT STATED THAT HE SECURED THE ENGINE, INFORMED GROUND CONTROL OF HIS SITUATION AND REQUESTED HELP. PILOT STATED THAT HE REMAINED IN THE AIRCRAFT HOLDING THE BRAKES UNTIL AIRPORT SECURITY ARRIVED. NO FURTHER ACTION IS REQUIRED AND THIS MATTER IS CLOSED. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
