## Narrative

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

ON SCENE.

IT APPEARED THAT THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED INTO A FUEL TRUCK WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE NON-MOVEMENT AREA OF GYI. THIS WAS APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET NORTH OF THE SELF SERVE FUEL STATION.

THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND A DENT ON THE ENGINE COWL. THERE WAS NO OTHER APPARENT DAMAGE. THE FUEL TRUCK SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR, THE CAGE THAT HOUSES THE FUEL CONNECTIONS AND THE FUEL TANK. THERE WAS NO FUEL LEAK.

THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD REFUELED AT THE SELF SERVE FUEL STATION. HE STARTED TAXIING FORWARD AND AFTER ABOUT 100 FEET HE HIT THE FUEL TRUCK. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT EXPECT A FUEL TRUCK TO BE PARKED IN THE TAXIWAY. HE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT SEE ANY OBSTRUCTIONS DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY OUT THE FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT.
