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.

While taxiing, the right wingtip of the jet clipped the left wingtip of N175AS, a Piper PA-28-140, located in the run-up area adjacent to taxiway alpha. Both aircraft returned to the ramp. The captain and copilot of the taxiing jet and the student pilot in the PA-28 did not experience any injuries. During a subsequent inspection, the Cessna 560 was found with scratch marks on the bottom of the right wing and the Piper PA-28 had minor damage on the left wing tip.
