## Narrative

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

WHILE TURNING FROM TAXIWAY C1 TO TAXIWAY "A" TOWARD RUNWAY 32, LEFT MAIN GEAR EXITED ONTO THE GRASS. REQUIRED AIRCRAFT TO BE PULLED BACKWARD BACK ONTO THE TAXIWAY. AIRCRAFT WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO HANGAR  UNDER ITS OWN POWER.

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.
