## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TAXIED OFF OF TAXIWAY LIMA ONTO TAXIWAY ECHO AND ONTO JET AVIATION'S RAMP AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. WHILE TURNING ONTO THE RAMP FROM ECHO, WITNESSES SAID THAT THE AIRCRAFT SHUT DOWN BOTH ENGINES PRIOR TO MAKING A FULL STOP. LINE SERVICE MARSHALLER STATED THAT HE WAS TRYING TO GET THE PILOT'S ATTENTION AND SIGNAL HIM TO SLOW DOWN, BUT THE PILOT DID NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE MARSHALLER. THE AIRCRAFT APPROACHED A PARKED AIRCRAFT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND STRUCK THE LEFT WING OF THAT AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT OF ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ STATED THAT MARSHALLER DIDN'T INDICATE THAT HE WAS TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER AIRCRAFT AND THAT THERE WAS NOT A WING WALKER PRESENT. THE PARKED AIRCRAFT WAS CHOCKED AND HAD CONES PLACED AT BOTH WING TIPS, NOSE AND TAIL. THE RAMP DID NOT HAVE MANY AIRCRAFT PARKED ON IT THAT DAY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
