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.

Mr. Robert fisher, the PIC of N350FC, taxied from a dark ramp area at Arlington Municipal Airport to the taxi-way. In the process of turning onto that taxi-way, Mr. Fisher became distracted and the aircraft's right landing gear traveled over the sod and the right propeller hit a taxi-way light. There was damage to the right propeller and no injuries.
