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 left the tie-down spot and was taxing on taxi line when he struck a parked truck with the aircraft's left wing.

Pilot stated that he saw the truck but misjudged the distance between truck and his aircraft.

Because airman was required to participate in additional flight and ground training similar to an asap, this is being closed with counseling.

Counseled with airman on duties and responsibilities as it relates to cockpit and sterile procedures while taxing.
