## Narrative

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

AT APPROXIMATELY 2030 EASTERN STANDARD TIME THE PILOT BEGAN TO TAXI AT NIGHT FROM THE APRON AT WILSON AIR (CHA) TO CONDUCT AN ENGINE RUN UP PRIOR TO A PLANNED FLIGHT FROM CHA TO PIB. THE NON MOVEMENT AREA WAS NOT WELL LIT AND NO EDGE MARKINGS WERE VISIBLE. THERE WERE CONES AND CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS IN THE CONGESTED AREA. THE PILOT TAXIED OFF THE APRON INTO GRASS AT THE INTERSECTION OF A SERVICE ROAD AND THE RAMP. THE AIRCRAFT NOSE WHEEL HIT A HOLE AT THE EDGE OF THE HARD SURFACE AND GRASS SUBSEQUENTLY ALLOWING THE PROPELLER TO CONTACT THE ASPHALT RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER TIPS AND NOSE WHEEL PANTS.

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.
