## Narrative

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

(-23)ON FRIDAY OCTOBER 27, 2000, A DC-10 WAS BEING MARSHALLED TO A PARKING SPOT BY PERSONNEL OF PATHFINDER, A FREIGHT FORWARDING COMPANY. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE RIGHT WING TIP OF THE FOREIGN REGISTER DC-10, LXTLD, STRUCK THE RIGHT WING TIP OF A PARKED DC-8, N865F. THE DC-10 IS OPERATED BY TRANSLUX INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES AT TITLE 14 CFR 129 FOREIGN AIRCARRIER. BOTH A/C RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE IN THE INCIDENT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WERE THE PATHFINDER PERSONNEL DIRECTING THE DC-10 PATHFINDER MANAGEMENT STATED EACH OF THE INDIVIDUALS WILL RECEIVE ADDITIONAL TRAINING ON DIRECTING A/C AND RAMP SAFETY. BLOCK 29 AND 31 OF FAA FORM 8020-23 ARE INCOMPLETE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN THE REQUIRED INFORMATION FROM TRANSLUX INTERNATIONAL. BOTH CREW MEMBERS HOLD FOREIGN CERTIFICATES AND THE COMPANY HEADQUARTERS ARE IN LUXEMBURG.

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.
