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) The pilot privacy data omitted completed his run up on the northwest ramp in front of the tie down area at pvd airport. The pilot privacy data omitted exercised poor judgment when he chose to taxi into the tie down area rather than follow the yellow line around the tie down area. His left wing contacted the trailing edge of the rudder of another Cessna 182, N182BF, which was running with the brakes on. The pilot's privacy data omitted right wing tip contacted the rudder of a Piper PA32-260, N5529J which was tied down. There was no damage to the pilot's privacy data omitted aircraft N2374G. The damage to the running aircraft, N182BF, was so slight it was not realized and reported until the next day. The minor damage to the aircraft tied down, N5529J, was to the rudder.
