## Narrative

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

THIS OFFICE WAS NOTIFIED VIA GREAT LAKES ROC AND SUBSEQUENT DRA REPORT THAT SUN COUNTRY AIRLINES (SCNA), SCX FLT 392, FOLLOWING ARRIVAL IN MSP, MN THE AIRPORT AUTHORITY (MAC) REPORTED TO MSP ATCT THAT SUN COUNTRY HAD CALLED TO REPORT VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE ACFT CARGO DOOR AREA FUSELAGE STRUCTURE.

DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED BY SCNA MSP MECHANIC DURING A POSTFLIGHT WALKAROUND VISUAL INSPECTION. AT THE TIME OF NOTIFICATION, THE OPERATOR COULD NOT CONFIRM WHETHER THE DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED IN MSP OR SFO FOLLOWING PREVIOUS FLIGHT (SCX 391 MSP-SFO). LATER DETERMINED THAT DAMAGE HAD OCCURRED AT THE SFO RAMP/GATE AREA PRIOR TO DEPARTURE OF SCX FLT 392 (SFO-MSP).

STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO FUSELAGE SKIN PRIMARY STRUCTURE WAS CAUSED AS A RESULT OF A GROUND OPERATED BELT LOADER  OPERATIONAL ERROR, WHICH RESULTED IN COLLISION/CONTACT BY THE BELT LOADER WITH THE AIRCRAFT DURING GROUND OPERATIONS. GROUND DAMAGE OCCURRED AT THE RAMP/GATE BETWEEN SCHEDULED REVENUE FLIGHTS TURNING IN SFO (MSP-SFO-MSP).

THE AIRCRAFT WAS REMOVED FROM SERVICE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING DISCOVERY OF DAMAGE, PRIOR TO ANY FURTHER REVENUE FLIGHT AND RETURNED TO THE MINNEAPOLIS MN SCNA HANGAR FOR REPAIRS.

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.
