## Narrative

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

(-23)EXTENSIVE MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED ON AIRCRAFT. AIRMAN/OWNER WAS SCHEDULED TO TAKE AIRCRAFT TO OSHKOSH AND ELECTED TO DO A "PRE-TRIP" SHAKEDOWN OF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE CRAFT WAS PRE-FLIGHTED IN HANGER AND WHILE PULLING THE AIRCRAFT OUT OF THE HANGER, HEARD A "CLICKING" NOISE COMING FROM LH WHEEL.  HE REMOVED WHEEL COVER AND FOUND A PEBBLE MAKING NOISE.  REPLACED THE COVER AND STARTED AND TAXIED AIRCRAFT WITHOUT REMOVING TOWBAR.  AIRMAN HAS SET A NEW PROCEDURE IN EFFECT REQUIRING THE AIRCRAFT TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE HANGER PRIOR TO COMMENCING PREFLIGHT AND TO MAKE A FINAL WALK AROUND PRIOR TO ENTERING THE AIRCAFFT FOR FLIGHT.

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.
