Accident & incident history

Reported aircraft: Boeing 727-2Q8 — a different aircraft that carried the N831L registration before this airframe.

Probable cause: The airport personnel's failure to properly mark the ditch hazard and the taxiway boundaries surrounding it, and, the captain's failure to maintain a situational awareness of his location with respect to the taxiway layout. The dark night lighting condition was a factor.
