## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT STATED: THAT WITH BOTH THE MASTER AND MAGNETO SWITCHES IN THE OFF POSITION, THE AIRCRAFT ENGINE INADVERTENTLY STARTED AFTER HE HAND TUUNED THE PROPELLOR (NOT PROPING) A SECOND REVOLUTION. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT MOVEMENT, WHICH TRAVELED ABOUT 200 FEET AND STRUCK 4 PARKED VEHICLES AND CAME TO REST. THERE WAS NO FIRE. THE PILOT'S 3 AND YEAR OLD CHILDREN WERE SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT THROUGHOUT THE EVENT. THE 5 YEAR OLD RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL CARE.

## 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.

Probable cause: an improper splice of the magneto 'P' lead wires, and the pilot's improper positioning of the throttle and mixture controls while he rotated the propeller by hand.
