## Narrative

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

ON SEPTEMBER 28, 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 12.20 LOCAL TIME, A CORPORATE PILOT IN COMMAND AND COPILOT TAXIED N860CR, A CESSNA 560 JET, ON TAXIWAY ALPHA FOR TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 11 AT THE GAINESVILLE AIRPORT, FLORIDA (GNV). THE RIGHT WINGTIP OF THE JET CLIPPED THE LEFT WINGTIP OF N175AS, A PIPER PA-28-140, LOCATED IN THE RUN-UP AREA ADJACENT TO TAXIWAY ALPHA. BOTH AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO THE RAMP. THE CAPTAIN AND COPILOT OF THE TAXIING JET AND THE STUDENT PILOT IN THE PA-28 DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY INJURIES. DURING A SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION, THE CESSNA 560 WAS FOUND WITH SCRATCH MARKS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RIGHT WING AND THE PIPER PA-28 HAD MINOR DAMAGE ON THE LEFT WING TIP.

VMC CONDITIONS WERE REPORTED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, 9 SM VISIBILITY AND CALM WINDS.

THE CAPTAIN OF THE TAXIING JET STATED THAT THE CHECKLIST ITEMS WERE COMPLETED WHILE TAXIING ALONG TAXIWAY ALPHA AND THE COPILOT WAS LOOKING DOWN MOMENTARILY TO CHANGE RADIO FREQUENCIES BEFORE APPROACHING THE PIPER LOCATED IN THE RUN-UP AREA. WHEN THE COPILOT LOOKED UP, HE NOTICED HOW CLOSE THE RIGHT WING WAS TO THE PIPER. HE IMMEDIATELY ALERTED THE CAPTAIN, WHO WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF TO THE LEFT, BUT THE WINGTIPS STILL MADE CONTACT. THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT HIS WING MIGHT HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF FEET OVER THE RUN-UP AREA INTO THE TAXIWAY.  WHEN HE FELT THE IMPACT, HE REPORTED IT TO ATC AND REQUESTED TO TAXI BACK TO THE RAMP. THE JET FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER.

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.
