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 pilot landed his king air F90 with one passenger after a one-hour morning flight. He landed without incident and taxied toward his hangar. While taxiing, the pilot put his head down to retract the flaps. As the pilot retracted the flaps, he felt the right main wheel depart the taxiway. As he looked up he saw the aircraft was pulling right, followed by a loud bang. The right propeller had struck a taxiway light, damaging the light, blades one and three of the right propeller, and subsequent dents to the right side of the fuselage where pieces of propeller blade hit after being severed. The pilot and passenger were not injured.
