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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS PARKED ON GATE C-6 AT THE DETROIT METRO AIRPORT OPERATING ON COMAIR FLIGHT 6362 AS A DELTA CONNECTION.  THE GATE IS A NON-TYPICAL GATE, I.E. THE PUSH OUT IS NOT PERPENDICULAR TO THE TERMINAL, THERE IS ALSO A VEHICLE ROAD THAT PASSED TO THE LEFT SIDE OF AN AIRCRAFT THAT IS PARKED ON THE GATE.  THE COMPANY PLACED A BAGGAGE CART TO THE LEFT REAR OF THE AIRCRAFT AS A LOCATION FOR TRANSFER BAGS.  THE CART HAD NOT BEEN MOVED PRIOR TO THE PUSH.  THERE WAS A WING WALKER TO MONITOR THE LEFT WING DURING THE PUSH.  IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE WING WALKER DID NOT FOLLOW COMPANY POLICY ON CLEARING THE AREA PRIOR TO HAVING THE AIRCRAFT PUSHED.DURING THE PUSH THE LEFT WINGLET CONTACTED THE BAGGAGE CART AND SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.
