## Narrative

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

(-23)^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WHILE TAXIING AIRCRAFT TO PARKING AREA THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN PER COMPANY PROCEDURES. PRIOR TO TURNING TO PARK THE AIRCRAFT, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED WITH NO RESPONSE. THE PIC ATTEMPTED A RIGHT TURN TO CLEAR A PARKED AIRCRAFT BUT THE STEERING DID NOT RESPOND. THE INCIDENT AIRCRAFT'S LEFT WING TIP STRUCK THE AFT UNDERBELLY OF THE PARKED AIRCRAFT. THE INCIDENT AIRCRAFT ROLLED ANOTHER 20 FEET PAST THE POINT OF IMPACT BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. ALTHOUGH NO DISCREPANCIES HAVE BEEN FOUND WITH THE AIRCRAFT AT THIS WRITING, THE COMPANY HAS REVISED THE AFTER LANDING CHECKLIST AND ISSUED A MEMO TO ALL COMPANY PILOTS DIRECTING THEM TO LEAVE BOTH ENGINES RUNNING UNTIL PARKED. THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED WITH THIS REPORT.

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.
