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 departed aircraft while it was running to turn the aircraft by pushing on the tail. After turning the aircraft, the pilot tried to get back in the plane but it began rolling. While the aircraft was moving it turned left, taxiing into the right wing of a parked aircraft. The aircraft propeller struck the parked aircrafts right wing tip. There was no intention of flight for either aircraft.
