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.

Parked with nose headed NE (snowbank was at about the 8 o'clock position) turned left to turn towards taxiway. Put inputs in to stop the turn and felt no response, used brake but apparently was too late. Struck the snowbank damaging the propeller and wingtip.
