## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT WAS BEING RETURNED TO THE PILOT BY MECHANIC AFTER WORK WAS DONE BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AT BOERNE STAGE.

PILOT STARTED THE ENGINE AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL THROTTLE SETTING AND THE AIRCRAFT STARTED TO MOVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ENGINE STARTED.

THE PILOT INCORRECTLY HANDLED THE BRAKES FOR STEERING. THE PILOT STEERED A SHARP TURN TO THE RIGHT, THEN THE PILOT STEERED SHARP LEFT.

THE LEADING EDGE OF THE AIRCRAFT'S LEFT WING THEN STRUCK A POLE AND THE MOMENTUM OF THE AIRCRAFT SWUNG THE CRAFT AROUND, CAUSING THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT TO IMPACT THE WEST SIDE OF THE FBO OFFICE BUILDING, WHICH IS ALSO WHERE THE AIRCRAFT CAME TO REST.

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.
