## Narrative

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

(-23)ON DECEMBER 6, 2000, A SIGNATURE FLIGHT SUPPORT BELTLOADER CAUSED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE DOOR SILL PLATE AND LOWER SKIN UNDER THE AFT CARGO PIT AREA. A ANTENNA WAS ALSO BROKEN. THE THROTTLE CABLE ON THE BELTLOADER STUCK AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO IDLE. SIGNATURE FLIGHT SUPPORT PUT AN OUT OF SERVICE-RED TAG ON THE BELTLOADER AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE CABLE. THEY ALSO INSPECTED ALL MOTORIZED EQUIPMENT ON THE CONTINENTAL RAMP AND FOUND NO OTHER THROTTLE ISSUES. THE SIGNATURE EMPLOYEE COMPLETED A DRUG TEST AS COMPANY POLICY DICTATES AFTER AN INCIDENT. THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE AND THE EMPLOYEE RETURNED TO WORK. THE A/C WAS REPAIRED AND RETURNED 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.
