From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) Cape air, flight #702, N106CA, CE-402-C, 10/12/05, while parking the aircraft at terminal c in Boston, had the right wing tip hit a baggage chute in their ramp area at 08:45. There were two ramp agents assisting the parking. The one on the right wing tip gave thumbs up to the pilot indicating that he was clear of the obstruction. The pilot then turned his attention to the ramp agent on the left who was directing him to turn left into the parking spot. As he started to turn left the right wing hit the baggage chute. Inspectors statement: this incident was "not" reported to massport, state police or the FAA after the incident occurred. This office found out about this incident from privacy data omitted of massport fire rescue (at 15:45) who saw someone (cape air mx) applying speed tape to the wing tip later in the day. After talking to privacy data omitted of cape air maintenance he stated "there was minor damage to the wing tip, strobe, and navigation light approximately two inches of wing tip was damaged." This information was given to the new england region operations center. As it turned out there was approximately one foot of the wing tip damaged.
