## Narrative

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

(-23) AT 1614 ON 10/01/00 AFTER ARRIVAL ON VNY 16R, N45D, A PITTS S-2B, WAS CLEARED TO TAXI TO PARKING WHEN IT COLLIDED WITH N311MA, A MOONEY M21K, STATIONARY IN THE VICINITY OF THE RUNUP AREA PREPARING FOR AN IFR DEPARTURE. THERE WERE NO PHYSICAL INJURIES AND THE DAMAGE TO BOTH AIRCRAFT WAS MINOR.

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.
