## Narrative

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

(-23) WAS PREPARING FOR FLIGHT, HAD SET THE PARKING BRAKES AND STARTED THE R/H ENGINE. INCREASE POWER OF R/H ENGINE TO 75% TO START L/H ENGINE REDUCED POWER ON BOTH ENGINES TO IDLE AND HAD FEET ON THE BRAKES. PILOT WAS LOOKING DOWN TAKING CLEARANCE INFORMATION WHEN A/C UNKNOWN TO THE PILOT MOVED FORWARD AND THE L/H PROPELLER STRUCK THE FABRIC AWNING ON THE ENTRANCE OF THE FBO. THE A/C WAS IMMEDIATELY STOPPED WITH THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINES SHUT DOWN. THE L/H PROPELLER SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE, AND THE L/H ENGINE HAD A SUDDEN REDUCTION IN SPEED. NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE A/C WAS NOTED. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE A/C BY MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL THE R/H BRAKE LINE IN THE UPPER PORTION OF THE WHEEL WELL WAS FOUND TO BE CRACKED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PRESSURE TO BLEED OFF THE BRAKES.

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.
