## Narrative

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

ON NOVEMBER 25, 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 1130 EASTERN STANDARD TIME, A MOONEY M20J, N3201L, SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL  DAMAGE WHEN IT ROLLED FORWARD UNDER POWER AND IMPACTED A TEE HANGAR AT THE BRAZIL CLAY COUNTY AIRPORT (OI2) LOCATED NEAR BRAZIL, INDIANA. THIS EVENT OCCURRED DURING THE PERFORMANCE OF AN ENGINE GROUND RUN WITH NO INTENT FOR FLIGHT. THE NON-CERTIFICATED STUDENT PILOT WAS NOT INJURED AND THERE WERE NO OTHER PERSONS ONBOARD. THE ENTIRE NOSE SECTION OF THE MOONEY AIRCRAFT PENETRATED THE TEE HANGAR DOOR PRIOR TO COMING TO A FULL STOP. THE AIRCRAFT PROPELLER SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED THE TEE HANGAR DOOR STRUCTURE WHICH CAUSED MINOR SECONDARY DAMAGE (FROM FLYING DEBRIS) TO AN AIRPLANE STORED WITHIN THAT 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.
