## Narrative

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

(-23) PILOT BEGAN TAXI FOR TAKEOFF WITHOUT REMOVING THE FOG OR FROST FROM THE PILOT'S OR COPILOT'S WINDSCREEN. HE HAD LIMITED VISIBILITY BECAUSE OF HIS IMPROPER PREFLIGHT AND BEGAN TO TAXI WHEN HE COULD ONLY SEE THE AREA JUST IN FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT. HE THEN BEGAN THE RUNUP BY SETTING 1500 RPM ON THE THROTTLES WHILE TAXIING WITHOUT ADEQUATE VISIBILITY. HE TAXIED THROUGH A LIGHTED BARRIER AND INTO A CONSTRUCTION SITE WHERE THE HARD SURFACE HAD BEEN REMOVED. HIS AIRCRAFT DROPPED ABOUT 10 INCHES INTO THE MUD AT THE CONSTRUCTION AREA AND HE ADDED POWER AND CONTINUED TO TAXI THROUGH THE MUD ABOUT 80 FEET.

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.
