## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXING ONTO RUNWAY19 FROM TAXIWAY G7, THE PILOT STRUCK THE G7/19 LOCATION/TAXI-RUNWAY SIGN WITH THE LEFT MAIN GEAR CAUSING IT TO COLLAPSE. THE PILOT APPPEARED TO BE USING THE LEFT BOUNDARY MARKING OF THE G7 TAXIWAY, AND NOT THE TAXIWAY CENTERLINE. THIS PLACED THE AIRPLANE TO THE FAR LEFT OF THE G7 TAXIWAY. THE G7/19 LOCATION/TAXIWAY SIGN WAS TORN FROM ITS MOUNT.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED  DAMAGE TO THE LEFT MAIN GEAR ASSEMBLY AND LEFT WING. THE DAMAGE WAS CLASSIFIED AS NOT SUBSTAINIAL. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

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.
