Narrative

ON MD/92; I WAS THE FO ON MY COMPANY FLT A FROM BNA TO CVG. THE FLT WAS SCHEDULED TO DEPART THE X CONCOURSE; SPOT Y AT H31 CST. OUR ACTUAL TIME OUT OF THE GATE WAS H45 CST. THE RAMP AREAS ON BOTH X AND Z CONCOURSES; WHICH MY COMPANY USES; ARE VERY CONGESTED WITH ACFT; RAMP EQUIP; PERSONNEL AND PAXS. THE USUAL PROC FOR TAXIING INTO AND OUT OF THE PARKING SPOTS INVOLVES ONE MARSHALLER AND VERY SELDOM A WING WALKER. AS WAS THE CASE; WE BEGAN DEPARTING X SPOT Y WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A SINGLE MARSHALLER AND NO WING WALKERS. THE MARSHALLER WAS LOCATED AT OUR 11 O'CLOCK POS AND COMMANDED A L TURN TO EXIT THE PARKING SPOT. THE CAPT FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH L TILLER; L BRAKE; AND DIFFERENTIAL PWR TO COMPLY WITH THE MARSHALLER'S COMMANDS. I WAS WATCHING THE R WING TO ENSURE IT WAS CLR; AS THE CAPT FOLLOWED THE MARSHALLERS COMMANDS. DURING THE TURN; I ADVISED THE CAPT THAT THE R WING LOOKED CLR; THIS WAS REINFORCED BY THE MARSHALLER'S CONTINUED COMMAND TO EXIT THE SPOT. THE CAPT FOLLOWED THE COMMANDS OF THE MARSHALLER; AS HE (THE MARSHALLER) HAS A BETTER VANTAGE POINT TO ENSURE WING TIP CLRNC THAN I DO. SOON IN THE TURN; WE FELT THE ACFT COLLIDE WITH SOMETHING. THE CAPT IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND SET THE PARKING BRAKE. IT WAS ONLY AFTER WE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP; THAT THE MARSHALLER SIGNALED FOR US TO STOP. THE VEHICLE CONTACTED WAS A TUG POSITIONED TO TOW A GPU CART CONNECTED TO THE ACFT ADJACENT TO OURS. THE DAMAGE WAS TO THE R NAV AND STROBE LIGHT ASSEMBLY; WHICH WAS REPAIRED AND REPLACED BY MAINT. ALL SYSTEMS TO THE R WING; FLT CTLS AND LIGHTS WERE INSPECTED AND CERTIFIED BY MAINT FOR CONTINUED SVC. ALL PAXS WERE DEPLANED WHILE REPAIRS WERE MADE AND NO INJURIES OCCURRED DUE TO THIS INCIDENT.
