## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: WHILE TAXIING IN A CONFINED AREA, PILOT WAS DISTRACTED BY A CAR PARKED IN THE TAXI AREA, WHICH RESULTED IN THE L/H WING TIP IMPACTING ON A PARKED AIRCRAFT, HITTING THE NOSE SECTION OF THE AIRCRAFT. NO PILOT DEVIATION OR 8020-11 GENERATED. THIS TERMINATES THE INVESTIGATION AND THE REPORT IS 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.
