## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXIING BACK TO HIS HANGER AFTER REFUELING, THE PILOT OF A 172 ALLOWED HIS WINGTIP TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE RUDDER OF A PARKED CHEROKEE 140.  THE RESULTING DAMAGE TO THE 140'S RUDDER WAS REPORTED AS MINOR AND THE 172 ENCOUNTERED LITTLE OR NO DAMAGE.  THE PILOT WAS NOT CURRENT AND DID NOT HAVE A CURRENT MEDICAL OR BFR.  HE STATED THAT DURING HIS TAXI, HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO TUNE HIS RADIO TO LISTEN TO THE AWOS SINCE IT WAS NOT IN OPERATION THE LAST TIME HE WAS OUT FOR A FLIGHT.  THE PILOT ALSO STATED THAT HE GOT HIS PLANE OUT OF THE HANGER TO REFUEL AND WAS RETURNING IT TO THE HANGER WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURED AND THAT HE WAS NOT RETURNING FROM A FLIGHT OR TAXIING FOR THE PURPOSE OF FLIGHT.  THE PILOT OF THE CHEROKEE 140 WAS OT AT THE AIRPORT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.

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.
