## Narrative

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

(-5) DURING PUSHBACK, AIRCRAFT STRUCK JETWAY CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PITOT TUBE AND AN 8 INCH GASH 4 TO 5 FEET FROM THE NOSE ON THE LEFT SIDE. NO INJURIES TO THE 369 OCCUPANTS AND CREW.

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.
