## Narrative

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

ON MAY 21, 2024, AT 1628 LOCAL TIME, AN ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^CARGO 747-400 SUFFERED MINOR WING DAMAGE WHILE TAXIING TO PARK AFTER LANDING AT FORT LAUDERDALE/HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA.  THE AIRCREW WAS TAXIING AT APPROXIMATELY 2 OR 3 KNOTS DUE TO THE UNFAMILIAR PARKING RAMP AND PROXIMITY TO A HANGAR.  THE WING WALKERS INDICATED THROUGHOUT THE TAXI THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS. THE MARSHALER WITH THE WANDS DIRECTING THE AIRCRAFT COMMANDED A HARD LEFT TURN PRIOR TO REACHING HANGAR, BUT WHILE TURNING, THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE HANGAR.  THE PILOT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE AIRCRAFT, SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND CONTACTED THE COMPANY.

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.
