## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON MORNING OF 08/26/2013 THE PILOT OF N5232D TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT FROM THE RAMP OF ADF AIRWAYS HEADING OUT TO DO SOME TRAINING. BEFORE THE PILOT COULD ENTER THE TAXI WAY, HE BECAME INCAPACITATED AND THE AIRCRAFT RAN INTO A PARKED LEARJET 35A (N96GS) ON THE RAMP. THE CESSNA STRUCK THE LEFT HAND ENGINE AND THRUST REVERSER ASSEMBLY OF THE LEAR WITH THE PROPELLER. FIRST RESPONDERS REPORTED THAT THEY FOUND THE PILOT UNCONSCIOUS AND CONVULSING WITH FOAM COMING FROM HIS MOUTH AND NOSE. FIRE RESCUE CAME OUT AND TOOK THE PILOT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR OBSERVATIONS. THERE WAS NO FIRE OR FUEL SPILLED, BUT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE CESSNA AND ENGINE DAMAGE TO THE LEARJET.
