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.
During pushback from the gate, the aircraft was pushed into a baggage cart. The cart struck the airplane between the left outboard and inboard flaps. It also struck the fuselage forward of the aft baggage door. The cart was pushed approximately 80 ft. the push crew never knew they hit the cart until the cockpit crew advised them.
