## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXING VIA TAXIWAY "A" PILOT REPORTED A SNAPPED RUDDER CABLE. UPON INVESTIGATION WE FOUND THE PILOT"S LEFT RUDDER PEDAL MOUNT BROKE OFF THE TORQUE TUBE.

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.
