## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 22 AT LEX.  AS AIRCRAFT TURNED ONTO THE RUNWAY AND APPLIED POWER, THE FREE CASTORING NOSEWHEEL WASNT CENTERED.   AT APPROX 20 KNOTS THE PILOT ELECTED TO REJECT AS HE WASN'T ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN THE AIRCRAFT OUT.  THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, AND BECAME STUCK IN THE MUD.  AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO A HANGAR FOR INSPECTION.  THERE WAS NO DAMAGE AS REPORTED BY THE CIRRUS APPROVED MECHANIC.

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.
