## Narrative

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

AIRMAN ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED IN PART: "TAXIED TO THE PARKING RAMP.  AT THE RAMP, I FOLLOWED A SCAR IN THE CEMENT THAT APPEARED TO BE AN EXTENSION OF THE TAXIWAY CENTERLINE.  THE AIRPORT MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT THE PAINTED LINE HAD BEEN REMOVED BECAUSE IT DID NOT PROVIDE ?ADEQUATE CLEARANCE.?  I WAS PLANNING ON TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT ON MY LEFT.  WHILE FOCUSING ON INITIATING MY LEFT TURN, I ALLOWED MY AIRCRAFT TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT STRIKING CESSNA 172, N9334H WITH MY RIGHT WING TIP.

## Other aircraft in the event

- N9334H, Cessna 172M: no report for this aircraft; [N9334H](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N9334H) is registered now

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.
