## Narrative

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

(-23)AIRCRAFT N548AT, AN ATR-72, WAS BEING MARSHALLED OUT OF PAD 14 ON THE AMERICAN EAGLE PARKING RAMP AT THE DFW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ON JUNE 17, 2001 BY AMERICAN EAGLE GROUND HANDLING AGENT. THE GROUND HANDLING AGENT FAILED TO ENSURE ADEQUATE WING TIP CLEARANCE BETWEEN N548AT AND N498AT ANOTHER ATR-72 PARKED ON PAD 13.  THE RIGHT WING TIP ON N548AT CONTACTED THE LEFT WING TIP OF N498AT, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AILERONS OF BOTH AIRCRAFT.

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.
