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 September 9, 2019, Mr. Powell (pilot in command) flew from FL13 to 42J to refuel his aircraft (N6009U). While taxing on runway 5-23 to the FBO, privacy data omitted noticed another aircraft coming out from the ramp. He was not sure of the intentions of the other aircraft, so he moved to the left side of the runway. The airport was under a lot of construction and when privacy data omitted moved to the left of the runway his left wing collided with a construction sign, causing substantial damage.
