## Narrative

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

DURING PUSHBACK FROM THE GATE, THE AIRCRAFT WAS PUSHED INTO A BAGGAGE CART. THE CART STRUCK THE AIRPLANE BETWEEN THE LEFT OUTBOARD AND INBOARD FLAPS. IT ALSO STRUCK THE FUSELAGE FORWARD OF THE AFT BAGGAGE DOOR. THE CART WAS PUSHED APPROXIMATELY 80 FT. THE PUSH CREW NEVER KNEW THEY HIT THE CART UNTIL THE COCKPIT CREW ADVISED THEM.

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.
