What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
A non-certificated unqualified owner boarded a recently purchased experimental gyrocopter to perform a ground run on the aircraft that he had no experience on. Once the engine started and he boarded the aircraft it started moving forward then made a sharp right turn and entered the hanger impacting the hanger door from the inside coming to a stop. The individual stepped out of the aircraft and turned directly into the running pusher propeller severing his left shoulder resulting in his death. There were no witnesses to this event.
