ON MONDAY, MARCH 03, 2025, AT APPROXIMATELY 20:25 EST/0125 GMT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^FROM CHARLOTTE/DOUGLAS INTERNATION AIRPORT (KCLT) TO SPRINGFIELD-BRANSON NATIONAL AIRPORT (KSGF), STRUCK AN ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT WHILE TAXIING FOR DEPARTURE. THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT WAS HOLDING SHORT OF GATE D13 AND WAITING FOR THE GROUND CREW TO MARSHAL, PARTIALLY BLOCKING THE MAIN TAXIWAY. THE TOP OF THE RIGHT-HAND WINGLET OF THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT’S APU EXHAUST TAIL CONE HOUSING. THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^FLIGHT CREW WAS UNAWARE THAT THEY HAD STUCK THE OTHER AIRCRAFT. THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO TAXI, DEPARTED AND LANDED SAFELY AT KSGF. THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ FLIGHT CREW WAS NOTIFIED BY THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ SOC AFTER LANDING IN KSGF. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ MAINTENANCE INSPECTED THE TOP OF THE RIGHT-HAND WINGLET AND FOUND PAINT TRANSFER WITH NO DENTS AND THE WHITE POSITION LIGHT LENS MISSING. MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND PERFORMED INSPECTIONS OF THE WINGLET ATTACH FITTINGS AND FOUND NO DISCREPANCIES. THE APU TAIL CONE HOUSING WAS REPLACED ON THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^WAS CLEARED TO TAXI BEHIND THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^AIRCRAFT, TRANSITION TO THE ORANGE TAXI LINE FROM THE YELLOW LINE AND THEN CONTINUE FOR DEPARTURE. THE FIRST OFFICER ACTIVELY MONITORED THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE TWO AIRCRAFT UNTIL HE WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE AIRCRAFT HAD SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. ONCE THE FIRST OFFICER BELIEVED THE AIRCRAFT HAD SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE, HE THEN TURNED HIS ATTENTION BACK TO OTHER FLIGHTDECK DUTIES. THE FIRST OFFICE STOPPED MONITORING THE CLEARANCE PRIOR TO PASSING THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT. THE INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT THE CAPTAIN FAILED TO TRANSITION TO THE ORANGE LINE WITHIN A REASONABLE DISTANCE TO ADEQUATELY CLEAR THE ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AIRCRAFT. ## Other aircraft in the event - N128AN, Airbus A321-231: no report for this aircraft; [N128AN](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N128AN) is registered now 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. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/).
