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) With the right engine (#2) running the captain signalled the ground marshaller to remove the chocks. He did not set the parking brake. After the first officer completed the passenger briefing he closed the passenger door but experienced a problem. The captain turned in his seat to instruct the first officer. With the crew's attention diverted, the aircraft rolled forward 80 feet into a chain link airport security fence and came to rest. The right propeller blades disintegrated on contact. The engine was secured and the passengers deplaned.
