## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE REPOSITIONING AIRCRAFT ON THE PARKING RAMP, PILOT REPORTED LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. BOTH AIRCRAFT COLLIDED AND N921FE SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THE TAIL CONE SECTION INCLUDING THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL STABILIZERS. NO PERSONAL INJURIES. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
