## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 05/30/2008 AT APPROXIMATELY 1445 HRS A KTIFOX, KTFXIV AMATEUR BUILT AIRCRAFT OWNED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND OPERATED BY SAME HAD AN INCIDENT DURING GROUND TAXI OPERATIONS.  WHILE PERFORMING PRACTICE TAXING, THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBJECTED TO MULTIPLE GUSTS OF STRONG CROSSWINGS MAKING IT UNCONTROLLABLE AND ULTIMATELY SPINNING THE AIRCRAFT AROUND.  THE AIRCRAFT SPUN OFF THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY CAUSING THE RIGHT HAND GEAR TO COLLAPSE.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET OFF THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE RUNWAY RESTING ON ITS RIGHT HAND WING TIP.  THE OPERATOR HAD NO INTENT FOR FLIGHT AND THEREFORE NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED.  THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE, AND NEITHER THE OPERATOR OR THE PASSENGER RECEIVED ANY INJURIES.

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.
