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.
Pilot was taxing off the beach when the plane turned hard right, the pilot applied full left rudder, but the plane continued right, pilot was unable to stop the engine quickly enough so the propeller chopped into the leading edge of the wing of the plane parked next to him.
