The aircraft was manoeuvring to park on Stand HS using the Azimuth Guidance Nose-in Stands (AGNIS) system for lateral guidance and a Paralax Aircraft Parking Aid (PAPA) for stopping guidance. These systems, which are aligned for use by the pilot seated in the left-hand seat, require the pilot to focus his attention both directly ahead for the AGNIS and to the right for the PAPA during the final stages of parking. Two ground staff members were in attendance with one positioned in the entrance of the jetway and the other on the ground between the jetway and the terminal building. As the aircraft was about to stop the left engine struck a stationary air start truck which had been parked close to the jetway service steps.
