## Narrative

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

(-23)DISTRIBUTION: ORIGINAL COPY ANE-200, NE01 SPM, NE-01 FILE. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS MARSHALED INTO THE SIGNATURE RAMP SPOT #2, AT APPROXIMATELY 2015 EDT ON SEPTEMBER 10,2002, THE LEFT WINGLET SCRAPED THE BOTTOM OF A DELTA AIRLINE'S MOBILE AIRSTAIRS. TWO SIGNATURE MARSHALERS WERE BEING USED TO GUIDE THE AIRCRAFT TO ITS PARKING STAND. ONE MARSHALER WAS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THE OTHER AT THE LEFT WING. NEITHER MARSHALER WAS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THE OTHER AT THE LEFT WING. NEITHER MARSHALER GAVE THE CREW A SIGNAL TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT PRIOR TO CONTACTING THE AIRSTAIRS. THE CREW WAS UNAWARE OF THIS CONTACT UNTIL THEY WERE INFORMED BY AIRPORT SECURITY WHO WERE ALSO WAS LOCATED IN THE VICINITY OF THE LEFT WING. THE CAPTAIN, WHO IS ALSO A FAA LICENSED AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT MECHANIC, INSPECTED THE WINGLET FOR DAMAGE. AFTER CONDUCTING HIS INSPECTION AND HAVING DISCUSSIONS WITH THE COMPANY'S CHIEF OF MAINTENANCE AS WELL AS GULFSTREAM TECHNICAL SUPPORT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE WINGLET WAS COSMETIC. THE AIRCRAFT WAS 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.
