## Narrative

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

MISHAP AIRCRAFT TAXIED ONTO THE RAMP VIA TAXIWAY G. MISHAP CREW WAS CONTACTED BY GROUND PERSONNEL VIA RADIO THAT THEY WERE TO PARK BETWEEN TWO OTHER AIRCRAFT. THAT REQUIRED THE MISHAP CREW TO NOSE IN BETWEEN THE TWO AIRCRAFT AND COMPLETE A 180-DEGREE TURN. GROUND PERSONNEL STATED THERE WOULD BE WING WALKERS TO ASSIST. AS THE MISHAP PILOT ATTEMPTED THE PARKING PROCEDURE, HE WAS GIVEN THE SIGNAL TO STOP BY THE GROUND CREW. THE TURN WAS TO THE LEFT, SO THE MISHAP PILOT HAD TO RELY ON THE FIRST OFFICER FOR VERBAL COMMANDS DUE TO THE FACT HIS VISION WAS OBSCURED. THE GROUND CREW THEN GAVE THE COMMAND TO PROCEED AND AGAIN STOPPED THE MISHAP AIRCRAFT. THE MISHAP CREW WAS AGAIN GIVEN THE OK BY GROUND CREW TO MOVE FORWARD AND THIS TIME WHEN THE GROUND CREW TOLD THEM TO STOP, AND IT WAS RELAYED BY THE FIRST OFFICER, IT WAS TOO LATE, AND THE RIGHT-WING WINGLET MADE CONTACT WITH THE PARKED AIRCRAFT’S RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE AND MINOR DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE MISHAP AIRCRAFT WINGLET. NO NOTICEABLE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE PARKED AIRCRAFT. ONCE THE CONTACT WAS MADE BETWEEN THE TWO AIRCRAFT, THE MISHAP PILOT SET THE PARKING BRAKE AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINES. THE PASSENGERS AND BAGGAGE WERE OFFLOADED, AND THE AIRCRAFT TOWED INTO THE PARKING SPOT.

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.
