## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PILOT LANDED ON RUNWAY 01 HAD CONCERN ABOUT WIND FAVORING RUNWAY 19 SO ANNOUNCED HIS INTENTION AND WAS TAXIING TO THE NORTH END OF THE AIRPORT. THE TAXIWAY IS QUITE CLOSE TO THE PARKED AIRCRAFT (FROM CENTERLINE TO MOONEY PROP, IN PARKING SPOT, DISTANCE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22' THE CESSNA SPAN BEING 36' LEAVES 4' BETWEEN WING TIP AND THE OTHER PARKED AIRPLANE). PILOT DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING OTHER THAN AN ENGINE AND THE NEXT THING HE NOTICED WAS HIS TIP HAD BEEN HIT BY THE OTHER AIRPLANE, WHICH HAPPENED TO BE A MOONEY.

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.
