## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON 11/22/2019 PIC ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TAXIED N55197 INTO AN I-BEAM. THE INCIDENT OCCURED AT KCHA WHEN THE PIC WAS LOOKING DOWN DURING TAXI WHICH LEAD TO THE RIGHT WING STRIKING THE I-BEAM OF A HANGAR.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
