## Narrative

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

DURING A HIGH SPEED TAXI, ON RUNWAY 17 AT GRAND PRAIRIE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT (KGPM), THE PILOT IN COMMAND OF N3770K, A GLOBE SWIFT GC-1B, LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT RESULTING IN THE AIRCRAFT EXITING THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK AN AIRPORT VISUAL APPROACH SLOPE INDICATOR (VASI) AND THEN A DITCH AND CAME TO REST ON ITS NOSE.

THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO ITS NOSE, PROPELLER, LEFT WING TO FUSELAGE FAIRING, RIGHT WING AND THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED BY THE CONTROL TOWER FOR TAXI ON THE RUNWAY ONLY AND NOT FOR TAKEOFF.

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.
