## Narrative

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

(-23) N429DD RECEIVED TAXI CLEARANCE FROM THE BANYAN FBO TO RUNWAY 08 VIA TAXIWAY BRAVO AND ECHO. AMENDED INSTRUCTIONS FOR N429DD WERE TO HOLD, AND ALLOW A PIPER PA-28 N604FT TO PASS FIRST. N429DD PROCEEDED TO TAXI AFTER N604FT PASSED. N429DD WAS FOLLOWING N604FT WHILE BOTH AIRCRAFT WERE ON TAXIWAY BRAVO. THEN N604FT TURNED LEFT ONTO TAXIWAY ECHO. N429DD LOST SIGHT OF N604FT AT THIS POINT AND DID NOT REACQUIRE VISUAL CONTACT. N429DD TURNED LEFT ONTO TAXIWAY ECHO AND CONTINUED TOWARD RUNWAY 08. WHILE NEARING THE APPROACH END OF RUNWAY 08, N429DD CONTACTED FXE LOCAL CONTROL (120.90 MHZ) AND TOLD FXE LOCAL CONTROLLER THEY WILL BE READY TO DEPART. THE FXE LOCAL CONTROLLER CLEARED N429DD FOR DEPARTURE ON RUNWAY 08. N429DD CONTINUED TO COMPLETE HIS TAXI ON TAXIWAY ECHO, AND TAXIED ONTO RUNWAY 08 AND TOOKOFF. N604FT CONTACTED FXE GROUND CONTROL AND REPORTED THAT THE LEFT WING TIP OF N429DD HAD MADE CONTACT WITH THE PROPELLER ON N604FT, AND THAT N604FT HAD DAMAGE AND REQUESTED TO RETURN TO THE RAMP. ATC CONTACTED N429DD AND THEY RETURNED. N429DD HAD THREE PROPELLER SLICES IN THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE, AND DAMAGE TO THE LOWER WING PLANK.

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.
