A Boeing 767-300ER cargo-configured airplane, N319UP, operated by United Parcel Service (UPS) as flight 2774 sustained
minor left wing damage when it struck the tail cone of a Boeing 737-92, N32404, operated by Continental Airlines as flight 1423, while taxing after landing at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), near Houston, Texas.
N32404, which also sustained minor damage to its tail cone and left horizontal stabilizer, was holding short of its gate area. There were no reported injuries to the two pilots of N319UP or to the two pilots, five flight attendants, and 167 passengers of N32404. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the scheduled flights conducted under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121. The last departure airport for
N319UP was the Louisville International Airport-Standiford Field (SDF), near Louisville, Kentucky. The last departure airport for N32404 was the Sacramento International Airport (SMF), near Sacramento, California.
Probable Cause: The captain's failure to maintain clearance from a parked airplane awaiting for a gate. A contributing factor was that taxi procedures were not issued by ground control to advise the captain that the ramp area where he was taxing was designated as a non-movement area and not under the tower's control. Another factor was that company notices to airmen (NOTAMS) were not issued to advise their pilots that tarmac markings in that particular ramp area were not accurate, and that the area was a non-movement area not under the control of the tower.
