## Narrative

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

(-23) THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING TAXIED UNDER POWER IN CONJUNCTION WITH RAMP SNOW REMOVAL OPERATIONS. AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING TAXIED, THE SPEED OF WHICH WAS DESCRIBED BY THE PILOT AS A "FAST TAXI", THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A SECTION OF THE SURFACE THAT WAS CONTAMINATED WITH ICE. THE AIRCRAFT TIRES LOST TRACTION WITH THE SURFACE RESULTING IN THE AIRCRAFT SLIDING OFF OF THE TAXI SURFACE INTO AN ADJACENT SNOW BERM. THE RIGHT WING CONTACTED THE SNOW BERM RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE.

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.
