## Narrative

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

AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 PM CENTRAL TIME ON JANUARY 13, 2026, THE PILOT OF A BEECH E-90 WAS TAXIING SOUTH ON TAXIWAY LIMA TOWARD RUNWAY 32R AT KOMA WHEN THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE PILOT APPLIED LEFT PEDAL TO MAINTAIN CENTERLINE, BUT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT RESPOND. THE PILOT INFORMED THE PILOT MONITORING OF THE ANOMOLY. THE PILOT APPLIED LEFT PEDAL, BRAKE PEDAL, AND RIGHT ENGINE THROTTLE TO TURN THE AIRCRAFT LEFT, BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED VEERING RIGHT. WITH LEFT PEDAL APPLIED, THE PILOT MOVED THE PROPS INTO BETA, BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED VEERING RIGHT UNTIL A TAXIWAY EDGE LIGHT WAS STRUCK BY PROPELLER BLADES ON THE RIGHT ENGINE. THE FLIGHT CREW HEARD THE PROP STRIKE, THEN THE PILOT APPLIED MAXIMUM BRAKE PRESSURE AND PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE, BRINGING THE AIRCRAFT TO A STOP. THE CREW INFORMED ATC OF THEIR SITUATION AND REQUESTED MAINTENANCE ASSISTANCE. THERE WAS VISIBLE DAMAGE TO TWO RIGHT ENGINE PROPELLER BLADES, THE RIGHT NOSE GEAR DOOR, AND THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE NOSE AREA FUSELAGE.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS BROUGHT TO A CERTIFICATED REPAIR STATION FOR INSPECTIONS AND TESTS OF THE BRAKING AND STEERING SYSTEMS. THERE WERE NO CONCLUSIVE MECHANICAL FINDINGS.

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.
