## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXING TO RUNUP AREA, THE A75/G PILOT INADVERTENTLY COLLIDED WITH A PIPER PA-28-161, THAT WAS PERFORMING A STATIONARY RUNUP ON THE TAXIWAY. THE LOWER RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE OF THE TAXING AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH THE RIGHT-WING LEADING EDGE OF THE PARKED AIRCRAFT PERFORMING THE RUNUP. THE HEIGHT OF THE LOW WING NEARLY MATCHED THE HEIGHT OF THE PIPER WING PROVIDING STRAIGHT ON LEVEL IMPACT. APPROXIMATELY 60% OF THE LEADING EDGE OF BOTH AIRCRAFT WINGS THAT MADE CONTACT WERE DAMAGED. THE WOODEN SPAR OF RIGHT LOWER WING ON THE A75/G APPEARED TO HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE. THE PIPER WING LEADING EDGE AND WING TIP WERE DAMAGED BUT THERE DID NOT APPEAR TO BE STRUCTURAL DAMAGE.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB CEN24LA196](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CEN24LA196), May 11, 2024: Boeing 75 (N234X), New Century, KS, substantial damage. Probable cause: The inability of the Boeing 75 pilot to anticipate that the Piper would stop earlier on the taxiway which resulted in the on-ground collision.
