## Narrative

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

(-23) PRIOR TO TAXI THE CREW HAD CHECKED THE NOTAMS AND LISTENED TO THE ATIS BROADCAST CONCERNING WEATHER AND CONSTRUCTION ON THE AIRPORT. WHILE TAXIING FOR TAKEOFF, THE CREW FAILED TO LOCATE THE CENTERLINE OF THE TAXIWAY AND FOLLOWED A GROOVE IN THE PAVEMENT WHERE THE OLD CENTERLINE HAD BEEN. THIS ERROR PLACED THE AIRCRAFT 65 FEET TO THE WEST OF TAXIWAY'S CENTERLINE, AND THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A CONSTRUCTION BUILDING DAMAGING THE NO. 4 ENGINE COWLING. THE AIRCRAFT COWLING WAS REPLACED 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.
