## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT ARRIVED AT GATE A12 AND AFTER REACHING THE STOP LINE, FOR THAT PARTICULAR TYPE OF AIRCRAFT, THE AIR CREW WAS GIVEN THE STOP SIGNAL (CROSSED WANDS) BY THE MARSHALER, THE PILOT STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE. THE PILOT THEN RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE AFTER WHAT HE BELIEVED WAS THE CHOCKS ARE IN PLACE SIGNAL. THE MARSHELER STATED HE MAINTAINED THE STOP SIGNAL BECAUSE THE CHOCKS WERE NOT IN PLACE. DURING THIS TIME THE JET BRIDGE OPERATOR BEGAN MOVING THE JET BRIDGE INTO PLACE. ONCE THE PARKING BRAKE WAS RELEASED THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED FORWARD 14 FEET, THIS CAUSED THE LEFT ENGINE AND LEFT FORWARD PART OF THE ENGINE PYLON (#1) TO CONTACT THE JET BRIDGE. ACCORDING TO US AIRWAYS CMO, THE PILOTS FILES AN ASAP. AS A RESULT OF THE SPM, THE ERC RECOMMENDED TRAINING AND OBSERVATION FOR THE CAPTAIN WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY. BASED ON THE INFORMATION SUPPLIED IN THE ASAP REPORT AND THE DISCUSSION OF THE SPM, THE ERC CONCLUDED THERE WAS NO ACTOIN REQUIRED FOR THE FIRST OFFICER.

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.
