## Narrative

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

ON OCTOBER 22, 2021 APPROXIMATELY 0835Z ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^(B-747-412) WAS DAMAGED IN A COLLISION ACCIDENT WITH A PARKED AIR STAIR TRUCK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TAXI FOR TAKEOFF AT THE MUWAFFAQ SALTI AIR BASE IN JORDAN. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE LANDING GEAR, WHEELS, TIRES, FLAPS, LEADING EDGE DEVICES, ENGINE ACCESSORIES (#2 ENGINE), HYDRAULICS, BRAKES, AND INNER WING AREA NEAR THE FUSELAGE. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES.

AT APPROXIMATELY 0815Z THE MARSHALLER CAME TO THE FLIGHT DECK TO SEE IF THE CREW WAS READY FOR DEPARTURE. ?HE SAID HE WOULD PULL THE CHOCKS AND GIVE US THE CHOCKS OUT SIGNAL AS HE WAS NOT USING A HEADSET. HE DID THAT, AND AFTER GIVING THE SIGNAL DROVE OFF LEAVING US WITH NO ONE AROUND.? THE CREW REPORTED THAT ?AT THIS POINT WE ASSUMED THE AREA WAS CLEAR AROUND US AS THE CHOCKS ARE ALWAYS REMOVED LAST, AFTER THE GROUND EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN MOVED.?

THE CREW STARTED ENGINES AND REPORTED THEY OBTAINED ATC CLEARANCE AND "WE BEGIN MOVING, AND AFTER MOVING 10-15 FEET WE FELT CONTINUOUS BUMPS FOLLOWED BY A LOW MUMBLED ROAR, ALL THIS LASTED WHAT FELT LIKE 3 SECONDS THEN IT STOPPED, AND ALL WAS BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN. WE CONTINUED TAXI AND RECEIVED A LOW HYDRAULIC SYSTEM INDICATION, THE AIRCRAFT WAS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND WE CALLED FOR THE MAINTENANCE CREW WE HAD ON BOARD. THE ONBOARD MECHANIC WAS SENT TO GO THROUGH THE E&E COMPARTMENT TO INSPECT THE AIRCRAFT. IT WAS THEN THE DAMAGE WAS DISCOVERED. THE AIRCRAFT ENGINES WERE SHUT DOWN AND THE TOWER WAS ADVISED.?

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.
