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.

When the aircraft (N914ES) attempted to make a right turn to park along side of a parked aircraft, the right brake failed. This caused the two aircraft to run together. The right wing tips were damaged on both aircraft. The horizontal stabilizer of the parked aircraft (N88FG) was completely destroyed by the prop of N914ES. Brake fluid was noted on right brake and the ground around the right wheel of N914ES.
