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.

What happened

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

Narrative: Mr. Antaki was taxiing to runway #01 when he saw a parked fuel truck off the left side of the taxiway. He slowed to pass the truck and he believed that he would clear the truck. He continued and the left wing struck the fuel truck doing minor damage to left wing. Delay was caused by Mr. Antaki being out of the country.
