THE AIRCRAFT?S PROPELLER STRUCK ONE OF THE RUNWAY LIGHTS CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS ABLE TO TAXI TO THE GA RAMP UNDER ITS OWN POWER WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
