## Narrative

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

AWAITING TAKEOFF WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY N97766 THAT WAS TAXIING FOR TAKEOFF WITH CFI ABOARD. BLAMED BRAKES.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB LAX94LA050](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX94LA050), Nov 18, 1993: Cessna 172RG (N9620B), Santa Ana, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: were the CFI's inadequate supervision of the flight and his delay in taking remedial action. The dual student's excessive taxi speed and the worn right brake lining were factors in this accident.
