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.

Airman of privacy data omitted taxied the aircraft and departed the ramp with the ground power unit (gpu) still attached that resulted in minor damage to the aircraft. The gpu disconnected in about 50 feet. The marshallers tried to stop the aircraft from taxi with no success.
