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.

01/13/2017 At approximately 1700 local time aircraft was being taxied on a non-movement area ramp. During the taxi ATC advised pilot that another aircraft was going to be coming onto the ramp. The ramp area is narrow with hangers along the side. While maneuvering to give the inbound aircraft room to get by the left wing tip struck a hanger causing minor damage to the wing tip and navigation light/ strobe light. No injuries were sustained.
