## Narrative

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

LEFT WING TIP OF A GULFSTREAM G-V (OE-IIS) STRUCK THE UNDERSIDE OF A PARKED BOEING 767 (N767BF) WHILE BEING MARSHALLED TO A PARKING SPOT IN FRONT OF ATLANTIC AVIATION'S HANGAR AT STEWART INT'L AIRPORT(KSWF), NEW WINDSOR, NY.

AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL FLIGHT AND LANDING IN KSWF, AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIED VIA TAXIWAY C TO THE ATLANTIC FBO PARKING RAMP.   MARSHALLER AND RAMP PERSONNEL WERE IN SIGHT. MARSHALLER GAVE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ASSIGNED PARKING IN FRONT OF THE HANGAR.

ON THE LH SIDE THERE WAS A PARKED B767 (N673BF). BELOW THE NOSE OF THE B767, THERE WAS RAMP PERSONNEL  INDICATING DISTANCE AND SHOWING SPACE FOR TAXIING IN. THE MARSHALLER GUIDED THE AIRCRAFT FURTHER INTO THE APRON.

DURING SLOW TAXI THE LH WINGLET COLLIDED WITH THE PARKED B767 WHILE THE AIRCRAFT WAS MARSHALLED INTO THE APRON. THE PLANE WAS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. THE MARSHALLER STILL GAVE SIGNALS TO CONTINUE AFTER THE AIRCRAFT WAS STOPPED.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WAS ACCOMPLISHED ACCORDING TO NORMAL PROCEDURE. THE WING HAD BEEN INSPECTED FOR FUEL TANK DAMAGE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN. NO DAMAGE WAS FOUND. THEREFORE PASSENGERS  DISEMBARKED AFTER CLEARED BY CBP

INTERVIEWED THE PILOT AND HE STATED HE WAS NEVER GIVEN A STOP SIGNAL FROM THE GROUND CREW.  SEVERAL WITNESES ALSO STATED THAT EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL.

WHILE INSPECTING THE RAMP AREA, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE LEAD IN LINES FROM THE TAXIWAY TO THE AIRPORT ARE APRROXIMATELY 30 FT FROM WHERE THE B767 WAS PARKED.  ALSO, THERE ARE NO MARKINGS TO SEPARATE DESIGNATED PARKING AREAS AND RAMP PERIMETER.  REACHED OUT TO AIRPORTS DIVISION IN NY FOR THEM TO COORDINATE OR FOLLOW UP WITH THE AIRPORT MANAGER.  LINES FOR PARKING SPACE NEED TO BE PAINTED AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE TAXI LEAD IN LINE.

INTERVIEWED THE MANAGER FOR THE FIXED BASED OPERATOR (FBO) AT ATLANTIC AVIATION AND VERIFIED THE MARSHALLER HAD BEEN PROPERLY TRAINED.  HOWEVER, MORE TRAINING MIGHT BE REQUIRED BY THE INDIVIDUAL.

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.
