## Narrative

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

(-23) A FRIEND OF THE OWNER ^PRIVACY DA^ WENT OUT TO START THE AIRCRAFT. AFTER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STARTER ^PRIVACY DA^ WENT OUT AND WAS PULLING THE PROP THROUGH WHEN THE ENGINE CAUGHT. THE AIRCRAFT WENT ON ITS OWN WITH NO OCCUPANTS AND HIT A PARKED VEHICLE.

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.
