## Narrative

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

(-23) STATEMENT OF PIC: MY WIFE AND I ARE THE REGISTERED OWNERS OF N58KM, A 1974 PIPER PA23 AZTEC E. LAST NIGHT, JANUARY 15, 2007, I WAS PILOT IN COMMAND OF AN INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT THAT TERMINATED AT THE CUSTOMS RAMP. AFTERWARDS, AROUND DUSK, I REPOSITIONED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE FRONT OF ITS ASSIGNED PARKING AT THE SHADE HANGARS AT THE RELIANCE AVIATION RAMP. IN THE PROCESS, I INADVERTENTLY CONTACTED A NON STRUCTURAL POLE OF THE HANGAR WITH THE STARBOARD FIBERGLASS WINGTIP CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO IT. AFTER DETERMINING THAT THIS WAS A NON-REPORTABLE INCIDENT, I NOTIFIED RELIANCE AVIATION AND THEY FILED A POLICE REPORT WITH THE MIAMI DADE COUNTY POLICE DEPT. FOR INSURANCE PURPOSES. THIS MORNING, OUR FAA, IA LICENSED MECHANIC INSPECTED THE AIRCRAFT AND ESTIMATED THE DAMAGE TO BE AROUND. $300.00. THE AIRCRAFT IS BEING REPAIRED AND ALL WORK WILL BE ENTERED INTO THE AIRCRAFT'S LOGBOOKS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAA REGULATIONS.

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.
