What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The aircraft was taxiing into gate D8 at Salt Lake City International Airport after arriving from honolulu, Hawaii (khnl). There was a delay in parking at the gate due to an improperly parked aircraft at gate D6 immediately adjacent. The crew of dala #1826 was following the directions of the marshaller who was directing them into gate D8. The marshaller failed to notice the wingman near gate D6 who was apparently telling the marshaller that the wingtips were too close. Upon getting into gate D8 it was discovered that the wingtip of delta #1826 had brushed the other aircraft causing some damage. This is a final report.
