What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Co-captains were on this flight and their practice was to alternate legs as PIC. Crew had completed exterior inspection of aircraft and were inside cockpit approximately 20 minutes when a mechanic parked a golf cart approximately 10 feet forward of the right wing tip. Cock pit crew received taxi clearance and moved forward, striking golf cart. PIC was advised by SIC before proceeding that area was clear. No marshaller was present nor requested by flight crew. Mechanic had parked golf cart in front of hangar doors on previous occasions even though designated areas for ground equipment areclearly marked just north of the hangar.
