## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS NERVOUS BECAUSE OF A ALTERNATOR PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED INFLIGHT FROM KSBA TO LGB AND ALSO STATED HE WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH RUNWAY 30 AT LONG BEACH. HE STATED THAT HE CUT THE CORNER AS HE TAXIED OFF THE RUNWAY ONTO THE TAXIWAY AND HIT THE LIGHTS.

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.
