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 September 6, 2016, the pilot in command (PIC) of N58986, a Boeing stearman, was involved in an aircraft incident at dupage airport (kdpa), in West Chicago, Illinois.

The PIC, who was participating in an air tour operation, was taxing N58986 to the ramp when he inadvertently struck an aircraft that was stationary. N58986 sustained minor damage to the propeller, and javelin.

The PIC was operating as an air tour operator without a current second class medical. A new second class medical was issued to the airman on September 20, 2016. No injuries were sustained by the pilot or passenger of the aircraft.
