## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: ON 1/13/94, AN EMB-120 (REGISTRATION NO. N58733) BEING OPERATED BY CONTINENTAL EXPRESS AS FLIGHT NO. 3186, LANDED AT SYRACUSE, NY AND SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING TIP AND AILERON DURING TAXI TO THE GATE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING UNDER THE DIRECTION OF GROUND PERSONNEL WHEN THEY MISJUDGED THE CLEARANCE AND THE LEFT WING TIP STRUCK THE RAILING ON THE JET WAY STAIRS CAUSING THE STAIRS TO SWING BEHIND THE WING DAMAGING THE WING TIP AND AILERON. ONE OF THE GROUND CREW SUSTAINED A SLIGHT BRUISE ON HER LEG WHEN THE STAIRS STRUCK HER. BUT NO OTHER PERSON SUSTAINED ANY INJURY. THE AIRCRAFT HAD DEPARTED CLEVELAND ON 1/13/94 ON AN IFR PASSENGER FLIGHT. MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL REPLACED THE WINGTIP, AILERON AND ONE RIB IN THE WING BEFORE FERRYING THE AIRCRAFT TO THE CLEVELAND MAINTENANCE BASE ON 1/18/94. THIS INCIDENT IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
