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.
Aircraft landed rnwy 33. The taxi to the ramp requires a 90 degree turn just prior to entering the ramp area. The pilot stated "I just missed it", when talking about the turn required. The pilot claimed as a mitigating factor, the inclined taxiway coupled with the tail-low attitude of the aircraft on the ground, both contributing to not being able to see the requred turn. Propeller tip damage only.
