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.

On 10 jan 2012 at Springdale municiple airport (asg), Springdale, Arkansas at approximately 1900 local, a Beech 1900, registration number N2049K, serial number UC-164 was moving on the ramp toward the taxiway when the right wing contacted the vertical stabilizer of a tied down Cessna T210L, registration number N732HN, serial number 21061527. The Beech 1900 came to a stop when the crew felt the impact. Both aircraft received minor damage and no personal injuries occured. The ATP rated pilot and ATP rated co-pilot were completing the after start checklist and began to pick up departure clearance. The pilot was scanning forward and left and the co-pilot was scanning forward and right as the aircraft moved along the ramp. The co-pilot received a request for clearence readback from ground control and so she looked down to read what she had written earlier. It was during this head down situation that the collision occured. The aircraft was being operated as a 14 code of federal regulations part 135 flight in IMC conditions. A flight plan had been filed.
