## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS TIED DOWN ON SIGNATURE SOUTH RAMP AND WAS IN THE REAR ROW OF TWO. THE PILOT NOTED SPACE TO TAXI WAS TIGHT AND ASKED LINE SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE. AN ATTENDANT CAME OUT TO ASSIST THE PILOT IN CLEARING THE PARKED AIRCRAFT. AS THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAXING OUT OF PARKING, THE LEFT WING MADE CONTACT WITH THE RUDDER OF A PARKED AIRCRAFT ON THE FIRST ROW. THE PILOT TAXIED TO THE FBO AND SHUT DOWN. THE PILOT EXAMINED AIRCRAFT FOR DAMAGE AND NOTED NO DAMAGE TO THEIR AIRCRAFT EXCEPT FOR SOME YELLOW PAINT SCUFF ON THE WING EDGE. THE PILOT THEN SPOKE TO EMPLOYEE AT THE FBO DESK AND CONFIRMED THEY HAD THEIR CONTACT INFORMATION. THE PILOT THEN DEPARTED THE AIRFIELD ENROUTE TO FINAL DESTINATION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

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