## Narrative

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

THE PILOT WAS TAXIING TO A PARKING SPOT, WHEN SHE SAW A RAMP PERSON WAVING TO HER TO PARK IN ANOTHER AREA. SO SHE STARTED OVER TO WHERE HE WAS AT AND AS SHE MADE A TURN, SHE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT SHE WAS THAT CLOSE TO THE OTHER AIRCRAFT. THE TWO WING TIPS BARELY TOUCH EACH OTHER. THUS CAUSING VERY SMALL SCRATCHES ON THE WING TIPS OF EACH AIRCRAFT.

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.
