## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE TAXIING THE AIRCRAFT FOR TAKEOFF ON TAXIWAY "Z" THE PILOT CLIPPED A BLUE TAXIWAY LIGHT IN THE RUN UP AREA. THE AIRCRAFT ONLY KNOCKED OFF THE LENS BUT DID NOT BREAK THE BULB OF THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BELLY (PLEXIGLASS) EMPENNAGE AREA. HOWEVER, THE DAMAGED AREA WAS REPAIRED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.

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.
