## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: PRIVATE JET EXPEDITIONS HAD NO INFORMATION THAT WAS IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO THE FLIGHT CREW THAT POWER OUT OR POWER BACK WERE UNAUTHORIZED AT MIDWAY AIRPORT. THIS END GATE WAS JUST RECENTLY BEING USED BY PRIVATE JET. THE CAPTAIN WAS NEW TO MIDWAY AIRPORT. CAPTAIN ASSUMED HE COULD POWER OUT. THE GATE AGENT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED OR TRAINED TO MARSHALL OUT THE AIRCRAFT BUT DID ANYWAY WHEN THE CONTRACT RAMP PERSONELL WAS LATE ON ARRIVING FOR A PUSH BACK. PRIVATE JET HAS SENT MEMOS TO ALL PILOTS AND STATION MANAGERS TO MAKE AWARE OF SPECIFIC AIRPORT PROCEDURES IN THEIR DAILY OPERATIONS. COMPANY OPERATIONS ARE UPDATING THEIR NOTES TO INCLUDE A PERMANENT AIRPORT ADVISORY PAGE TO BE INSERTED IN ALL COMPANY JET PERSONNEL MANUALS.

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.
