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 February 28, 2018 at approximately 2000 EST, N60254, a Cessna 150 struck a chain link fence while positioning the aircraft for self serve fuel on the ramp.

The damage to the aircraft was limited to the right wingtip cap. Maintenance records were reviewed to return the aircraft to service.

The annual and 100 hour inspections were within time limits. The airman provided a written statement, and all certificates were found to be valid.

The airman was counseled on situational awareness, surface movement operations, ramp safety, and single pilot resource management.
