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) While being marshalled into gate E-17 in slc, the first officer instructed the captain to stop the aircraft when it appeared tha the right wing would not clear a parked tug. The captain stopped the aircraft, and the crew pointed to the tug. The marshaller indicated that the aircraft was ok and the crew continued into the gate. The right wing leading edge, approximatey four feet inboard from the wing tip, was damaged when it hit the tug.
