## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 9-17-00 A STAIR TRUCK #2272 STRUCK AMTA FLIGHT #108 WHILE THE A/C WAS WAITING TO TAXI UP TO GATE B-12. THE A/C COMMANDER HAD STOPPED TAXI WHILE WAITING FOR POSITIONING OF THE JETWAY. THE JETWAY AUTOMATIC LEVELER WAS INOPERATIVE, THEREFORE AMTA PERSONNEL WERE ATTEMPTING TO POSITION A STAIR TRUCK FOR PASSENGER DEPLANING WHEN THE DRIVER STRUCK THE LEFT AILERON AND WING TIP. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES TO PASSENGERS OR CREW. MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE A/C AND FOUND DAMAGE IN THE LEFT AIRLERON, WING TIP AND WING TIP POSITION LIGHT ASSEMBLY. MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR INDICATED THERE WERE NO REQUIRED SPECIAL/CONDITIONAL INSPECTIONS IN THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL REGARDING THIS TYPE DAMAGE TO THE A/C. MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED THE FOLLOWING: LEFT OUTBOARD AILERON PER CHAPTER 27-11-21, THE LEFT MID AND AFT WING TIP AND THE LEFT AFT POSITION LIGHT ASSEMBLY PER CHAPTER 57-31-01. OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE AFFECTED FLIGHT CONTROLS AND ILLUMINATIONS SYSTEMS WERE NORMAL. THE A/C WAS AUTHORIZED FOR RETURN TO SERVICE.

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.
