What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: a delta L-1011 was taxiing to the gate at Denver International Airport, when the right wing of the L-1011 clipped the left horizontal stabilizer of a delta B-757. Prior to the incident, the L-1011 had stopped behind a delta B-757 that was preparing for departure. Wing walkers were in place, and a ramp supervisor (watching the right wing) gave the approval for the L-1011 to make a left turn into the gate. The impact occurred as the L-1011 made the left turn. Cause of the impact was contributed to the ramp supervisor's error in judgment. This case is closed. No further action taken.
