## Narrative

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

FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND LOW TIME STUDENT MANUALLY MOVED AIRCRAFT FROM HAIL SHELTER TO GRASS TAXIWAY. THE INSTRUCTOR HAND PROPPED THE AIRCRAFT WHICH WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A STARTER AND ENTERED THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT IS ONLY EQUIPPED WITH HEEL BRAKES ON THE PILOT (LEFT) SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT. SINCE THERE IS A SLIGHT UPHILL SLOPE TO EXIT THE PARKING AREA ADDITIONAL POWER WAS REQUIRED TO BEGIN THE TAXI AWAY FROM THE HANGAR AREA. THE AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY SWUNG LEFT TOWARD THE HAIL SHED AREA AND IMPACTED A PARKED AIRCRAFT  BEFORE CONTROL COULD BE ESTABLISHED. SUBSTANCIAL DAMAGE WAS INFLICTED ON BOTH AIRCRAFT. NO PERSONAL INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED.
