Narrative:

Since we were just ferrying the aircraft from clt to gso we were allowing revenue flts to get deiced ahead of us. The captain went to turn off the runway which they were using to deice aircraft onto a taxiway to make a 180 degree turn. As he turned to the right I noticed that the taxiway was one thick sheet of ice. I told him I didn't think would turn onto the taxiway because of the ice, however, it was too late and we slid very slowly (the nosewheel only) off the taxiway onto the grass. After extensive deicing of the taxiway, we were pulled back onto the taxiway by a tug, and taxied to the hangar for inspection of the nosewheeel. Their was no damage to the nosewheel and ferried the aircraft to gso. Problem #1 was that taxiway should have been closed. #2 the act should not have been taxied with only 1 engine running which in this case was the #2 engine.

Title: LOSS OF ACFT CTL WITH TAXIING TFC.

Narrative: SINCE WE WERE JUST FERRYING THE ACFT FROM CLT TO GSO WE WERE ALLOWING REVENUE FLTS TO GET DEICED AHEAD OF US. THE CAPT WENT TO TURN OFF THE RWY WHICH THEY WERE USING TO DEICE ACFT ONTO A TXWY TO MAKE A 180 DEG TURN. AS HE TURNED TO THE R I NOTICED THAT THE TXWY WAS ONE THICK SHEET OF ICE. I TOLD HIM I DIDN'T THINK WOULD TURN ONTO THE TXWY BECAUSE OF THE ICE, HOWEVER, IT WAS TOO LATE AND WE SLID VERY SLOWLY (THE NOSEWHEEL ONLY) OFF THE TXWY ONTO THE GRASS. AFTER EXTENSIVE DEICING OF THE TXWY, WE WERE PULLED BACK ONTO THE TXWY BY A TUG, AND TAXIED TO THE HANGAR FOR INSPECTION OF THE NOSEWHEEEL. THEIR WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE NOSEWHEEL AND FERRIED THE ACFT TO GSO. PROB #1 WAS THAT TXWY SHOULD HAVE BEEN CLOSED. #2 THE ACT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TAXIED WITH ONLY 1 ENG RUNNING WHICH IN THIS CASE WAS THE #2 ENG.
