Hey fellas,

Last week my student and I had a taxi incident at the flight school where I instructor. My student was taxiing the aircraft and our right wingtip hit the spinner of another one of our airplanes on the ramp while taxiing down the lane. The other aircraft was not damaged (mechanic said so) and the only damage to ours was a broken landing light lens. It looked clear from my perspective or else I would not have let the student continue to taxi. We were literally going 1-2 knots. Both aircraft were up and flying the next day.

I filled out an air safety form and the assistant chief instructor lectured my student the importance of always looking at the wingtips while taxiing.

Will this affect me getting hired at an airline in the future? The assistant chief instructor said I had nothing to worry about, just learn from what happened.
