What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot stated that after landing he entered, what he believed, was a newly constructed taxiway. As he taxied further along he soon saw that the taxiway ended and there was only dirt and rocks. He attempted to turn the aircraft 180 degrees but the nose wheel departed the taxiway surface. As a result of the soft dirt being saturated from a previous rain, the nose wheel sank into the mud and the prop struck the ground, including the mud and rocks. The pilot immediately shut down the engine and exited the aircraft. He stated that the propeller blade tips were nicked up and bent. He had the aircraft towed back to the hangar. The incident was reported by the associated 145 repair station.
