## Narrative

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

(-23) ASOA FLIGHT#4068, N643AS, WAS BEING MARSHALLED INTO GATE C29 AT THE ATLANTA AIRPORT. THE FLIGHT WAS BEING GUIDED BY A MARSHALLER ASSISTED BY 2 WING WALKERS. DURING TAXI THE RIGHT WING OF N643AS STRUCK THE RIGHT WING OF ANOTHER PARKED AND EMPTY ATR, N531AS. WITNESSES ON THE RAMP STATED THAT AT THE TIME OF CONTACT BETWEEN THE TWO AIRCRAFTS THE MARSHELLER WAS STILL GIVING THE PILOTS THE COME AHEAD SIGNAL AND THE WING WALKERS WERE STILL INDICATING THAT THERE WAS WING TIP CLEARANCE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE WALKING WITH THEIR HEADS DOWN AND NOT LOOKING AT THE WINGTIP. BOTH A/C EXPERIENCED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AILERONS.

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.
