## Narrative

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

(-23)DUE TO CONSTRUCTION IN THE AREA AROUND THE TAXIWAY LEADING TO THE RAMP, THE CAPTAIN SHUTDOWN THE NUMBER 2 ENGINE TO PREVENT POSSIBLE FOD ENGINE DAMAGE. UPON ARRIVING ON THE RAMP, WITH ONLY THE LEFT ENGINE RUNNING, THE CAPTAIN WAS DIRECT BY THE GROUND CREW TO MAKE A SERIES OF LEFT TURNS, TOWARD THE OPERATING ENGINE, INTO A PARKING POSITION.  THE FBO HAS A POLICY OF PARKING THE PASSENGER'S CARS NEAR THE AIRCRAFT PARKING AREA, AND THEREFORE AS THE AIRCRAFT MADE THE LAST TURN INTO ITS PARKING POSITION IT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH INERTIA TO KEEP ROLLING, ANF CAME TO A STOP.  THE CAPTAIN ADDED THRUST TO THE NUMBER 1 ENGINE(THE LEFT ENGINE), AND THE AMOUNT OF THRUST REQUIRED TO MOVE THE AIRCRAFT TO ITS LEFT, TOWARDS THE ENGINE PRODUCING THE THRUST, WAS SUFFICIENT TO BLOW A COMPACT CAR INTO THREE OTHER CARS, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES.

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.
