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) A three person maintenance crew was taxiing aircraft to an overnight parking spot. The PIC was not sure if the aircraft would fit into the parking spot so he sent the 'right seat' out to marshall him. The ground marshall 9RIGHT SEAT0 gave the PIC a "all clear" sign and started turning the aircraft to the left. The right wing hit a parked deckloader.
