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) Snow removal operations were being conducted at the time of the incident. The aircraft was taxiing from the ramp area to the taxiway when it slid into a snow bank due to the slippery condition of the airport surfaces. The left propeller incurred minor damage when it struck the snow bank adjacent to the taxiway. The passengers were removed from the aircraft and there were no injuries.
