Narrative:

On taxi out of fci, I was a right seat PNF of a ce-550 under part 91. The plane reached the parallel taxiway at which time the PF asked what runway was in use. I told him I thought it was runway 15. He turned the plane to taxi to runway 33. The mistake was noticed and he said he would make a 180 degree turn at the next intersection of txwys. I started to get the takeoff speeds at the time of the turn. We taxied off the right side of the taxiway at the completion of the turn and I told the PF that it did not look as though we could power out of the rut that the gear had dug. With help from a tug and ramp personnel, we were able to get out. We washed the gear off and inspected it back at the hangar to find no damage. I think that sometimes too little attention is paid to the taxi process by both the PF and PNF.

Title: TXWY EXCURSION STUCK IN MUD.

Narrative: ON TAXI OUT OF FCI, I WAS A R SEAT PNF OF A CE-550 UNDER PART 91. THE PLANE REACHED THE PARALLEL TXWY AT WHICH TIME THE PF ASKED WHAT RWY WAS IN USE. I TOLD HIM I THOUGHT IT WAS RWY 15. HE TURNED THE PLANE TO TAXI TO RWY 33. THE MISTAKE WAS NOTICED AND HE SAID HE WOULD MAKE A 180 DEG TURN AT THE NEXT INTXN OF TXWYS. I STARTED TO GET THE TKOF SPDS AT THE TIME OF THE TURN. WE TAXIED OFF THE R SIDE OF THE TXWY AT THE COMPLETION OF THE TURN AND I TOLD THE PF THAT IT DID NOT LOOK AS THOUGH WE COULD PWR OUT OF THE RUT THAT THE GEAR HAD DUG. WITH HELP FROM A TUG AND RAMP PERSONNEL, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OUT. WE WASHED THE GEAR OFF AND INSPECTED IT BACK AT THE HANGAR TO FIND NO DAMAGE. I THINK THAT SOMETIMES TOO LITTLE ATTN IS PAID TO THE TAXI PROCESS BY BOTH THE PF AND PNF.
