## Discrepancy

AROUND 1:35PM WE WERE TAXIING VIA N3 APPROACHING APRON 2, WE SAW THE RAMP AGENTS SIGNALING THE GO AHEAD, APPROACHED THE PARKING ACCORDING TO THE RAMP AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. HE WAS SIGNALING THE GO FORWARD SO I WENT FORWARD AS SOON HE SIGNALED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN I MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THAT’S WHEN N406SV COLLIDED WITH N408SV LH WINGTIP WITH LH WINGTIP.  REMOVED AND REPLACED RIB ASSY LH WING TIP
