## Narrative

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

HE ROLLED ON THE RUNWAY TO THE END, THEN TURNED LEFT ONTO TAXIWAY AND STOPPED. HE PERFORMED THE TAXI CHECKS, CLEANED UP THE AIRPLANE, AND NOTICED A BOEING 737 THAT WAS FACING SOUTH ON A TAXIWAY THAT PARALLELED THE RUNWAY. THAT AIRPLANE WAS SOUTH OF THE TAXIWAY, AND HE THOUGHT IT WAS PARKED. NEITHER HE OR HIS PASSENGERS RECALL SEEING ANY PEOPLE ON THE GROUND AROUND THE B737. HE NOTICED THAT THE LEFT ENGINE COWLING OF THE B737 WAS MISSING, BUT HE COULD NOT PERCEIVE EITHER ENGINE WAS RUNNING. HE TAXIED WEST BOUND ON THE TAXIWAY (LATER IDENTIFIED AS A4), AND WHEN HE WAS BEHIND THE 737 (ABOUT 200-300 FT), WITH NO AILERON CONTROL INPUT APPLIED, THE LEFT WING WAS RAISED AND THE RIGHT WING CONTACTED THE TAXIWAY SUDDENLY. THE AIRPLANE CARTWHEELED AND CAME TO REST UPRIGHT. THE DOORS WERE OPENED AND ALL OCCUPANTS EXITED THE AIRPLANE. AFTER THE EVENT HE LOOKED TOWARDS THE B737 AND NOTICED 3-4 PEOPLE STANDING THERE. HE INDICATED THE AIRPLANE VIBRATED AND WENT OFF THE TAXIWAY.

## NTSB investigation

None matched to this report by aircraft and date. Search the NTSB's own records: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-main-public/basic-search

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.
