## Narrative

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

(-5) AIRCRAFT WAS HIT ON THE TAIL CONE BY A PORTABLE MAINTENANCE STAND THAT BLEW ACROSS THE RAMP IN GUSTY WINDS. DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFTS' TAIL CONE WAS MINOR. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR CREW. SUBMISSION OF THIS REPORT CLOSES THIS INCIDENT.

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.
