## Narrative

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

(-23) ON AUGUST 19, 2003, AT APPROXIMATELY 1400 CDT, FALCON 20, N341KA, SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE DURING AN ENGINE MAINTENANCE RUN ON THE CORPORATE AVIATION RAMP AT OMAHA EPPLEY AIRFIELD. THE LICENSED TECHNICIAN INITIATED AN ENGINE INDICATOR OPERATIONAL CHECK WHEN THE AIRCRAFT JUMPED THE NOSE WHEEL CHOCK AND IMPACTED A MOBILE GROUND POWER UNIT. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE RH FUSELAGE STRUCTURE BETWEEN FRAMES 8 AND 12, AND STRINGERS 18 AND 20. THE MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN REPORTED NO INJURY. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION DISCLOSED THAT THE AIRCRAFT PARKING BRAKE ACCUMULATOR WAS UNCHARGED, THE AIRCRAFT WAS IMPROPERLY CHOCKED, AND THE BRAKE SELECTOR VALVE WAS IMPROPERLY POSITIONED.

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.
