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)ATC had issued a clearance for a westwind (N2HZ) to hold at runway 34 to await their IFR radar release and was in position at the hold line with the a/c brakes on. After landing on runway 16 at palwaukee airport (pwk),privacy data omitted ^(captain of N312FX) followed ATC instructions and cleared on taxiway d. due to the location of the hold line for runway 34 and taxiway d, minimal room was available for two large a/c to pass. Both a/c were in communication with each other while the challenger (N312FX) on the taxiway d attempted to pass behind the westwind (N2HZ) at the hold line for runway 34. N312FX was able to pass by the wing of N2HZ, however, insufficient room existed to clear the horizontal stab of N2HZ. The wing of N312FX came in contact with the tail section (horizontal stab) of N2HZ. Both of the captains relied on their first officers to clear the a/c due to their seat positions.
