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.
(-23) Mr. Forsberg was in his hangar, pulling the prop through to check on the condition of the engine after a ground prop strike incident. The engine started, and the prop struck Mr. Forsberg on the right shoulder and on the back as he was trying to go around the prop arc to shut down the engine. He later died during surgery.
