## Narrative

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

ON TOUCHDOWN OR VERY SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE LEFT MAIN TIRE FAILED CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO EVENTUALLY DRIFT OFF OF RUNWAY 26.  IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING THE RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT PROPELLER STRUCK A TAXIWAY SIGN CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE.  THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST IN THE GRASS BETWEEN RUNWAY 26 AND TAXIWAY A.

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.
