Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
While taxiing for takeoff the left wing of the aircraft collided with the nose of a parked Piper twin. The pilot stated that during his instrument scan he noticed that the alternator failed to show a charge and that this may have distracted his attention as to his position on the taxiway. Winds were estimated to be gusting to 30 knots.
