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) N337AK was in the process of docking (dock hand "grabbed the ropes") with the engine shut down when the dock handler slipped and fell and was not able to secure the aircraft prior to it colliding with the aircraft in front of it, N336AK requiring the rudder to be replaced prior to further flight.
