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

AFTER RETURNING FROM A SOLO CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT FOR TRAINING TOWARD A PRIVATE PILOT CERTIFICATE, THE STUDENT PILOT WAS CLEARED TO PARKING VIA THE INNER TAXIWAY (A DESIGNATED NON-MOVEMENT AREA).  WHILE IN MOTION ON THE MARKED INNER TAXIWAY, THE LEFT WING CONTACTED AN AIRPORT CONTRACTOR'S TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED ON THE EDGE OF THE TAXIWAY PAVEMENT.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN ON THE CENTERLINE OF THE TAXIWAY.  THE STUDENT REPORTED NOT SEEING THE TRUCK AS IT WAS IN THE SHADOWS OF A HANGAR.  THE TRUCK WAS AT THIS LOCATION WHILE THE CONTRACTORS WERE EATING LUNCH.
