## Narrative

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

AT 0653 LOCAL TIME N404NS LANDED RUNWAY 6 (ACK) AND MADE A LEFT TURN ONTO TAXIWAY B. THIS TAXIWAY IS CURRENTLY NOTAM CLOSED FOR A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT AND THE TAXIWAY SIGNAGE COVERED. N404NS CONTINUED TO TAXI ON BRAVO THROUGH A SET OF ORANGE LOW PROFILE BARRICADES LOCATED AT THE HOLD SHORT LINE CAUSING DAMAGE TO ALL PROPELLER TIPS AND THE MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS. THE PILOT IN COMMAND IMMEDIATELY CALLED AIRPORT OPERATIONS ON UNICOM 122.95 TO REPORT THE INCIDENT AND FINALLY COMING TO A STOP ON THE HAUL ROUTE NEAR TAXIWAY FOXTROT. AIRPORT OPERATIONS ADVISED THE PIC TO SHUT DOWN THE AIRCRAFT IN ITS CURRENT POSITION. UPON ARRIVAL ALL PASSENGERS HAD EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AWAITING A RIDE TO THE NORTH RAMP. THE PIC STATED HE DID NOT SEE THE BARRICADES WHILE TURNING ONTO TAXIWAY BRAVO.

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.
