## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING ON RUNWAY 16R, THE AIRCRAFT EXITED AT TAXIWAY A8. WHILE TURNING NORTHBOUND ON TAXIWAY A, THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR CAME INTO CONTACT WITH MULTIPLE TAXIWAY EDGE LIGHTS, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LIGHTS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED BY AN AIRPORT OPERATIONS VEHICLE, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS OBSERVED. THE AIRCRAFT SUBSEQUENTLY TAXIED TO PARKING WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
