## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT STARTED AIRCRAFT ON GPU POWER AFTER PREVIOUS UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS RESULTED IN A DEPLETED BATTERY. ENGINE WENT TO FULL THROTTLE. PILOT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT IN TIME, WHICH QUICKLY REACHED THE END OF THE GPU CABLE, JERKED TO THE LEFT, AND IMPACTED TERMINAL BUILDING.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
