## Narrative

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

PILOT WAS TAXING ON SNOW COVERED, PATCHY ICED TAXIWAY AND COULD NOT NEGOTIATE THE SHARP TURN TO THE LEFT DUE TO THE WIND PUSHING THE AIRCRAFT. THE RIGHT TIRE CAUGHT THE TAXIWAY EDGE AND PULLED THE AIRCRAFT OFF TO THE RIGHT INTO THE GRASS RESULTING IN A PROPELLER STRIKE AND CRACKED NOSE GEAR FAIRING.

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.
