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.

The aircraft (N368QS) was parked on a hill. When the aircraft was leaving a parking spot a large amount of thrust was used to get the aircraft to move. This caused a single engine Beechcraft prop jet (N94WW) to jump its chocks, break the tiedown ropes, spin around and be pushed propellor first into the tailsection of a Beechcraft baron (N6079S). The prop sliced through the entire right elevator and into the rear spar on the right stabilizer. I (privacy data omitted) contacted privacy data omitted the poi for net jets to discuss the issue. privacy data omitted Said this issue was being covered under the net jets asap program. Pilot information is currently protected and to be redacted from all reports. Net jets is fully aware of the issue and the insurance companies were notified. Any further issues that arise the poi will handle and co-ordinate with me if needed. There are two witness statements and photos attached to the hardcopies of the report.
