## Narrative

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

UPS 2020 LANDED RUNWAY 22L AND VEERED OFF THE LEFT EDGE OF TAXIWAY PAPA WHILE EXITING THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT WITH ITS NOSE GEAR AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE PAVED EDGE SURFACE. AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE RAMP. AFTER INSPECTION, ONE OF THE NOSE GEAR TIRES WAS CHANGED DUE TO A CUT.  AIRCRAFT WAS PUT BACK IN SERVICE AFTER TIRE CHANGE. THE CREW SUBMITTED ASAP REPORTS AND WAS RE-TRAINED ON PROPER TAXI PROCEDURES. NO FURTHER ACTION.

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.
