From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: taxi incident between C-182 N71818 and PA-28R-200 N55222 on a taxiway in front of the east row of t-hangars. Mr redenbaugh, pilot of N71818, claims he was parked in front of his hangar with the engine running when he observed N55222 taxiing southbound towards him. The right wingtip of N55222 struck the rotating propeller of N71818 as it passed. Mr. Redenbaugh said there was no time to make a radio transmission, nor was there anywhere to maneuver his airplane. Mr. Dever, pilot of N55222, and his pilot-passenger, Mr. Mann, claim they were southbound on the taxiway when they heard an aircraft engine race after a start. They observed N71818 lunge forward out of its hangar into the path of their airplane and were unable to stop or maneuver the airplane completely clear. On scene investigation revealed damage to both aircraft was minor. There is no way to verify either pilot's version of the event. Both pilots were counseled. This incident is closed. FCE-FSDO-05 incident number CE94IGA0033
