## Narrative

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

PILOT COMPLETED FLIGHT, DEPLANED PASSENGERS, REFUELED AIRPLANE, AND WAS TAXIING TO THE HANGAR WHEN IN A TURN THE RIGHT MAIN WHEEL DROPPED OFF THE PAVEMENT. THE PILOT HAD STOPPED, APPLIED POWER, THEN MORE POWER, THEN FULL POWER AND NEVER GAINED TOTAL CONTROL.

THE PLANE VEERED LEFT, THEN RIGHT. THE LEFT WINGTIP HIT A GOLF CART, THEN THE LEFT WING STRUCK A TELEPHONE POLE WHICH TURNED THE PLANE 90 DEGREES LEFT INTO A SKID. THE RIGHT MAIN BROKE OFF AND THE PLANE PLOWED THROUGH A GATE FRAME AND A CHAIN LINK FENCE.

PILOT WAS FOUND ALIVE AND LAYING ON THE RIGHT WING.  HE EXPIRED ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER WHILE ON A MED FLIGHT TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL FOR ADDITIONAL TESTING.

THERE WAS NO INTENT FOR FLIGHT, SO THIS EVENT DID NOT QUALIFY AS AN ACCIDENT. NTSB WOULD NOT ACCEPT THE CASE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
