## Narrative

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

ON DEPARTURE ROLL FROM RUNWAY 13. THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 200’ AFTER DEPARTURE ROLL WITH AN IMMEDIATE LEFT TURN INTO THE GRASS, CLEAR OF THE RUNWAY.

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.
