## Narrative

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

(-23) MR. MARCH STATED IN HIS SIGNED STATEMENT DATED 5/26/04, THAT ON APRIL 16, 2004 AT APPROXIMATELY 9:15 P.M., LANDED AT MIAMI AIRPORT, AND PARKED HIS AIRCRAFT AT SIGNATURE FBO PARKING AREA, AND AFTER SECURING HIS AIRCRAFT, LEFT THE AREA TO GO TO THE MAIN TERMINAL TO TAKE A FLIGHT TO COSTA RICA. UPON HIS RETURN 5 DAYS LATER, HE WAS TOLD BY SIGNATURE'S FBO MECHANICS, THAT HIS AIRCRAFT PROPELLERS HAD DAMAGE AT THE PROPS BLADES TIPS. MR. MARCH STATED, HE HAD NO IDEA HOW THAT HAPPENED, BECAUSE HE HAD A VERY SMOOTH FLY AND AS FAR AS HE CAN REMEMBER, HIS PROPELLERS DID NOT IMPACT ANY OBJECT. IF HE DID, HE DID NOT FELL NOR HEAR ANYTHING BEING IMPACTED. HE FURTHER STATED, BEFORE HE DEPARTED FROM ZEPHYPHILLS AIRPORT, LAKELAND, FLORIDA, HE PERFORMED A PRE-FLIGHT INSPECTION AND NO VISIBLE DAMAGE WAS NOTICED.

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.
