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.

Instructor and student were departing the ramp when they noticed another plane entering their row on the ramp. They came to a complete stop and were waiting for the other airplan to pass them so they could continie. The second airplane did not have enough wing tip clearance to clear their airplane as it taxiied in fron tof them, their propeller came into contact with the second airplane causing sunstantial damage to the other airplane. The instructor was trying to get the attention of the second airplne to get him to stop but the other pilot never reacted until they came into contact.

Both airplanes shut down their engines immediately after they cam into contact and there were no injuries.
