Narrative

WHILE CONDUCTING FLT TRAINING WITH A STUDENT PLT WITHIN THE LCL AREA OF ZZZ ARPT; APCHING TSTMS FORCED ME TO DIVERT TO ZZZ1. AFTER LNDG UPON EXITING THE RWY; THE WIND AND RAIN INTENSIFIED; AND I DEPARTED THE TXWY INTO THE UNCTLED TIE-DOWN AREA INTENDING TO SECURE THE AIRPLANE. WHILE TAXIING SLOWLY; WITH THE PROPER CTL POSITIONING; DOWN THE LINE TO THE ONE AVAILABLE SPOT A WIND GUST PUSHED MY ACFT SIDEWAYS AND THE LEADING EDGE OF MY R WING MADE CONTACT WITH THE NOSE OF AN UNATTENDED; SECURED/TIED-DOWN TWIN ENG ACFT (AZTEC). AFTER PERFORMING THE ENG SHUTDOWN I USED THE TOW BAR TO DIRECT MY ACFT INTO THE VACANT SPOT AND THEN TIED DOWN. AT THAT TIME I CALLED MY EMPLOYERS VIA CELL PHONE; WHO DISPATCHED A REP ALONG WITH AN AUTH MECH WHO UPON INSPECTION DEEMED THE ACFT I WAS FLYING AIRWORTHY. SOMETIME THEREAFTER I FLEW THE ACFT SOLO BACK TO ZZZ WITHOUT INCIDENT. MY EMPLOYERS PROMPTLY CONTACTED THE OWNERS OF THE AZTEC AND HAVE BECOME ENGAGED WITH THE FAA AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. I AM FAMILIAR WITH 49 CFR PART 830; I AM CONFIDANT THAT DAMAGE WOULD NOT CONSTITUTE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE NOR WERE EITHER MYSELF NOR MY STUDENT HURT OR INJURED IN ANY WAY. I AM SUBMITTING THIS RPT BECAUSE IT IS MY SINCERE DESIRE TO BE THE SAFEST MOST RESPONSIBLE PLT POSSIBLE. I STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE REGS; USE SOUND JUDGMENT; AND VIEW MY OCCUPATION AS A PRIVILEGE. IN THE FUTURE I WILL CONTINUE TO DO MY ABSOLUTE BEST TO FLY SAFELY AND CONDUCT MYSELF IN A MANNER THAT DEMONSTRATES MY RESPECT FOR THE AVIATION COMMUNITY.
