## Narrative

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

(-23) COUNSELING WAS DONE TO ADVISE THE PILOT TO FOLLOW THE YELLOW TAXIWAY GROUND PAINT MARKINGS AND IT WILL PROVIDE ADEQUATE SAFETY MARGINS. AT 0640 PDT, CE-182-T, N22064 WAS TAXIING FOR TAKEOFF FROM FRESNO YOSEMITE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND HIT A YIELD SIGN (NEAR A8 INTERSECTION) THAT MARKED A VEHICLE ROADWAY PARALLEL TO TAXIWAY A (ALPHA). THE SIGN WAS MEANT FOR MOTOR VEHICLES TO YIELD TO PASSING AIRCRAFT. THE SIGN WAS HIT BY THE 3 BLADED PROPELLER ON THE CESSNA AND GOUGED IT ON THE LEADING EDGE OF TWO BLADES. ONE OF THE PROPELLER BLADES WAS BENT FORWARD APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES FROM THE TIP. IT WAS DARK AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT AND THE PILOT WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH THE AIRPORT. VFR CONDITIONS EXISTED AND NO INJURIES TO ANY PERSONS OCCURRED.

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.
