## Narrative

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

A PIPER CHEYENNE TURBOPROP AIRCRAFT, N144PL, LANDED ON RWY 19R AT MCCARRAN INT'L AIRPORT, EXITED AT TAXIWAY TANGO AND PROCEEDED NORTHBOUND FIRST ON TAXIWAY FOXTROT, THEN ON TAXIWAY HOTEL. THE SUBJECT AIRCRAFT,A TRAFFIC WATCH CESSNA, LANDED BEHIND THE CHEYENNE ON THE SAME RUNWAY , AND EXITED MUCH SHORTER AT TAXIWAY NOVEMBER.  EACH AIRCRAFT WAS BOUND FOR THE SAME POINT, EXECUTIVE AIR TERMINAL.  AS THE CESSNA JOINED THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY HOTEL, IT WAS STRUCK IMMEDIATELY FORM BEHIND BY THE CHEYENNE, THE TURBOPROP'S RIGHT TIP TANK CONTACTING THE CESSNA ON THE INBOARD END OF THE LEFT AILERON.  THE AILERON WAS DESTROYED, THE UPPER AND LOWER WINGSKINS BUCKLED LOCALLY, AND THE AFT SPAR DEFORMED AND DEPRESSES.  DAMAGE TO THE CHEYENNE WAS LIMTED TO THE RIGHT RECOGNITION LIGHT, INSTALLED CENTRALLY IN THE NOSE OF THE TIPTANK.  IT HAD POPPED THROUGH THE METAL NOSECONE THAT NORMALLY RETAINS IT.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

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.
