Narrative

DURING PREFLT FOR AN EARLY MORNING FLT WHILE CONDUCTING THE COCKPIT INSPECTION I EXTENDED THE FLAPS INTO THE NOSE CONE OF AN ACFT THAT WAS PARKED IN THE HANGAR BEHIND OURS. MY FO WHO WAS CONDUCTING AN INSPECTION OF THE CABIN; NOTICED THE FLAPS EXTENDING INTO THE NOSE CONE. HE SHOUTED TO ME TO RETRACT THE FLAPS AND I IMMEDIATELY RETRACTED THEM. WE MADE A VISUAL INSPECTION OF BOTH OUR ACFT AND THE OTHER ACFT AND NOTICED SOME SMALL PAINT CHIPS ON THE OTHER AIRPLANE. OUR ACFT EXHIBITED NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER. WITH NO DAMAGE OTHER THAN MINOR COSMETIC DAMAGE I FELT IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO CONTACT MAINT OR DISPATCH. WE PROCEEDED WITH OUR SCHEDULED FLTS. I BELIEVE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE THE AIRPLANE WAS PARKED IN A POORLY LIT AND CROWDED HANGAR. I FEEL FUTURE OCCURRENCES CAN BE AVOIDED BY FIRST MAKING A WALKAROUND TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE NOT ANY OBSTACLES THAT COULD BE CONTACTED BY THE FLT CTLS. ALSO; I SHOULD HAVE HAD THE AIRPLANE INSPECTED BY A MECH FOR ANY INTERNAL DAMAGE BEFORE DISPATCHING FOR FLT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE BE02 HAD NO INTERNAL FLAP DAMAGE AND THE AZTEC ONLY HAD SUPERFICIAL PAINT CHIPPING ON THE RADOME. THE CHIEF PLT AND CAPT DISCUSSED THE FLC'S FAILURE TO HAVE THE BE02 (D MODEL) INSPECTED BY MAINT; BUT THERE WAS NO OTHER FOLLOW-UP. ACFT ARE NOT STACKED SO TIGHTLY IN THE HANGAR ANYMORE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 328181: WE HAD OUR AIRPLANE REMOVED FROM THE HANGAR AND CYCLED THE FLAPS. GREATER CARE SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED IN THAT WE WERE IN A DARK AND CROWDED HANGAR.
