What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While the aircraft was parked at FBO ramp for ground handling and passenger boarding, the tail stand was removed and stowed after the passengers had boarded. As the PIC entered the aircraft through the aft passenger door to close it, the aircraft tipped aft, causing the tail to contact the ground due to a shift in weight and balance
