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.

At start up of #4 engine, with all engines turning, the subject aircraft jumped the chock placed at the front of the nose wheel for holding the aircraft while air pressure built up for use by the aircraft pneumatic brake system and subsequently the subject aircraft hit another parked aircraft recently recovered after a flight.
