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: on June 28, 1996, Mr. John h. bridgman, a student pilot, operated N155AA on a solo cross-country flight between highgate, VT (fso) and Lebanon, NH (leb). While preparing for takeoff at Lebanon, NH for the return flight back to highgate, VT Mr. Bridgman taxied too close to an aircraft performing a stationary runup which caused the right wing tip of N155AA to contact the rotating propeller of that aircraft. Both aircraft were inspected by an IA and ferry permits were issued for both aircraft. Mr. Bridgman waited at Lebanon for his instructor who flew the aircraft back to highgate for repairs. Mr. Bridgman has received five additional hours of dual instruction and has conducted six hours of solo cross-country flight without further difficulties.
