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.
Incident aircraft (N3053N) was in the runup area of 29R when American flight 832, an MD83, was cleared for takeoff. The resultant jet blast from the MD83, as it made a left turn from the hold short line for takeoff, lifted N3053N onto its tail. The plane came back down on its l wingtip and its nose, with a resultant prop strike. The CFI in the right seat of 3053N was not anticipatingsuch a result, as he did not think the departing MD-83 used excessive power to roll away from the hold short line.
