## Narrative

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

RIGHT WING TIP OF AIRCRAFT STRUCK A CAMERA POLE WHILE TAXIING INTO THE GENERAL AVIATION PARKING RAMP.  UPON EXITING TAXIWAY ECHO, A LINE SERVICE EMPLOYEE MARSHALED THE AIRCRAFT AND SIGNALED THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) TO PROCEED STRAIGHT TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE PARKING SPACE ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE GENERAL AVIATION PARKING RAMP. THE AIRCRAFT PROCEEDED ONTO THE RAMP, CENTERING BETWEEN THE MARSHALLER AND THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF THE RAMP. AS THE AIRCRAFT CAME INTO POSITION, PERPENDICULAR TO THE FINAL PARKING SPOT, THE MARSHALLER DIRECTED A LEFT TURN TO ALIGN INTO THE DIRECTED SPOT. WHILE MAKING THE LEFT TURN, THE RIGHT WING TIP STRUCK A LIGHT/CAMERA POLE, CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE.

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.
