## Narrative

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

AFTER COMPLETION OF RUN-UP THE PIC FOR  N491ER CALLED DAYTONA ATCT AND STATED THAT HE WAS NUMBER TWO, IN SEQUENCE, READY FOR TAKEOFF RUNWAY 25R AT N9 INTERSECTION.  AFTER A FEW MINUTES, N491ER RECEIVED A CLEARANCE FROM DAYTONA ATCAT TO TAKEOFF RUNWAY 25R AT N9.  THE PIC HESITATED AND WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT TO DO BECAUSE HE WAS NUMBER TWO IN SEQUENCE. AIRCRAFT NUMBER ONE IN SEQUENCE N445ER TRIED TO CLARIFY WITH THE CONTROLLER THEIR LAST TRANSMISSION SINCE THEY WERE NUMBER ONE.  WITHOUT HESITATION, DAYTONA ATCT CONTROLLER STATED AGAIN THAT N491ER WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF, WHICH WAS ACTUALLY NUMBER TWO IN LINE, BEHIND N445ER.  AFTER RECEIVING HIS TAKEOFF CLEARANCE N491ER ATTEMPTED TO MANEUVER AROUND N445ER WHO WAS POSITIONED IN FRONT OF HIM.  DURING THE MANEUVERING AROUND N445ER THE PIC THOUGHT THAT HE WAS CLEARED OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AND THE LEFT WING (LEADING EDGE) OF N491ER STRUCK THE RIGHT WING (AFT/RIGHT PORTION) OF N445ER.

THE NTSB HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS AN INCIDENT AND HAS NOT ASSIGNED AN NTSB NUMBER TO THIS INVESTIGATION.

OTHER HAS BEEN SELECTED AS A CORRECTIVE ACTION BECAUSE EMBRY-RIDDLE HAS AN ACTIVE ASAP PROGRAM AND THIS INCIDENT WILL BE HANDLED THRU THIS PROGRAM.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
