## Narrative

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

PILOT LANDED AT NEW LOCATION AND WAS GIVEN TAXIWAY INSTRUCTIONS. ASKED FOR A PROGRESSIVE FROM ATC AND WHEN HE WAS GIVEN DIRECTIONS HE TRIED TO WRITE THEM DOWN WHILE TAXIING. AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF RUNWAY AND HIT TAXIWAY LIGHT. NO DAMAGE TO AIRCRAFT, BROKEN TAXIWAY LIGHT.

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.
