What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Interviewed dhl ramp manager privacy data omitted on 8/31/07, who stated that the incident was entirely the fault of the dhl crew marshalling the aircraft. The aircraft was a diversion from jfk to ewr and was being parked in a space that would normally be empty. Ramp was makked with markings for the B767 but since the aircraft was not going to be downloaded the plan was to have the aircraft taxi to line up the R1 door with an awaiting portable stairway. There was a marshaller at the stairway awaiting to give a stop signal when the aircraft was aligned with the stairway. This brought the aircraft approx. 25 feet beyond the B767 ground marking whre the #1 engine nose cowl came into contact with the loading platform. There were no injuries and the nose cowl required replacement before the aircraft was returned to service. Poi notified of the situation and will be investigating.
