## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AFTER LANDING, THE G-IV (N888SQ) TAXIED TO A RAMP IN FRONT OF ONE OF THE HANGARS. PERSONNEL FROM AN FBO MET THE G-IV TO MARSHAL IT TO A PARKING PLACE. THE G-IV WAS DIRECTED TO TAXI BETWEEN THE REAR OF A PARKED BE-300 (N300YM) AND A ROW OF AIRCRAFT TO THE G-IV'S RIGHT. THE G-IV'S LEFT WINGLET TIP STRUCK THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE RUDDER OF A PARKED BE-300, CAUSING MINOR SKIN DAMAGE TO A SIX BY TEN INCH AREA OF THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE BE-300'S RUDDER. THE DAMAGE TO THE G-IV WAS MINOR SCRATCHES ON THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LEFT WINGLET OF LESS THAN 0.01" DEPTH. ONE WITNESS STATED THE LIGHTING WAS POOR AND THE PERSON TRAINED IN MARSHALING AIRCRAFT WAS IN THE ADJACENT HANGAR. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
