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: the airplane rolled 50 or 60 feet forward without the pilot realizing the movement until it struck another airplane. The pilot thought he had his feet on the brakes. The navajo rolled into an unoccupied HS125, N96PR. The damage was minor.
