Narrative:

In moving the airplane from hangar to gate, first officer, who was last person on aircraft, failed to close door/pull stairs in. During prestart checklist, we failed to verify status of all doors. We consequently taxied forward a short distance, 100 ft approximately, before correcting the situation. This resulted in some damage to aircraft. Although running the appropriate checklist, the wrong or inadequate response was given. I would like to see training emphasis on more descriptive responses such as 'on/off' 'open/shut' numerical values where appropriate than 'checked' or 'appropriate.'

Narrative: IN MOVING THE AIRPLANE FROM HANGAR TO GATE, FO, WHO WAS LAST PERSON ON ACFT, FAILED TO CLOSE DOOR/PULL STAIRS IN. DURING PRESTART CHKLIST, WE FAILED TO VERIFY STATUS OF ALL DOORS. WE CONSEQUENTLY TAXIED FORWARD A SHORT DISTANCE, 100 FT APPROX, BEFORE CORRECTING THE SIT. THIS RESULTED IN SOME DAMAGE TO ACFT. ALTHOUGH RUNNING THE APPROPRIATE CHKLIST, THE WRONG OR INADEQUATE RESPONSE WAS GIVEN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE TRAINING EMPHASIS ON MORE DESCRIPTIVE RESPONSES SUCH AS 'ON/OFF' 'OPEN/SHUT' NUMERICAL VALUES WHERE APPROPRIATE THAN 'CHKED' OR 'APPROPRIATE.'
