## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXING ON THE ORANGE LINE TO TERMINAL 2B, GATE 28 VIA TAXIWAY TB2, THE CREW MISJUDGED THEIR PROXIMITY TO THE TAXIWAY EDGE AND DEPARTED THE TAXIWAY AS THE CA ATTEMPTED A 90 DEG TURN INTO THE RAMP ON THE G3 ORANGE LINE.  THE ORANGE LINE LEAVES LITTLE ROOM FOR ERROR AND THE SHARP TURN REQUIRES PRECISION TO REMAIN ON THE CENTERLINE.  THE STARBOARD MAINMOUNT DEPARTED THE TAXIWAY DAMAGING A TAXIWAY LIGHT BUT NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS INCURRED.

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.
