## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIING INTO GATE WITH THE PILOT OBSERVING THE MARSHALER DIRECT HIM. THE MARSHALER DID NOT OBSERVE THE WING MAN DIRECT A STOP. THE LEFT WING CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE JETWAY WHICH WAS NOT AT THE CORRECT LOCATION. THE OUTER SKIN OF THE LEFT #3 LEADING EDGE SLAT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE.

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.
