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.

The airplane landed and exited runway 09/27. Taxi clearance brought the airplane close behind a Boeing 737 max subsequently cleared to enter runway 09. Resulting jetblast lifted the airplane and caused the propellor to strike the ground.

The aircraft was towed to a hangar for future examination of the propellor, powerplant and related systems.
