## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS ISSUED TAXI CLEARANCE TO RUNWAY 6 AT BHM. CLEARANCE WAS TO CROSS RUNWAY 36/18 VIA NOVEMBER TO ALPHA AND PROCEED TO RUNWAY 6 VIA ALPHA.  RUNWAY 36/18 WAS CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION AND CLOSED LIGHTS WERE VISIBLE AS YOU CROSS AT NOVEMBER.  ONCE ACROSS 36/18 TAXIWAY NOVEMBER MAKES A VERY SLIGHT (2-3 DEGREE) TURN TO INTERSECT WITH TAXIWAY ALPHA.  TAXIWAY LIGHTS ON ALPHA WERE HIT (TWO LIGHTS) INDICATING THAT PILOT DID NOT MAKE THE SLIGHT 2-3 DEGREE TURN TO INTERSECT WITH TAXIWAY ALPHA.WEATHER WAS NOT A FACTOR; HOWEVER, IT WAS LATE NIGHT AND CLOSURE OF RUNWAY 36/18 COULD HAVE ADDED TO THE ILLUSION THAT AIRCRAFT WAS TRACKING THE CENTERLINE AS IT CROSSED AT NOVEMBER.INVESTIGATION AT THE AIRPORT SHOWED THAT LEFT MAIN TIRE TRACKED DIRECTLY OVER TWO LIGHTS, DESTROYING LIGHTS AND DAMAGING AIRCRAFT PROPELLER.

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.
