## Narrative

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

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.
