Oscar Avalle Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 They must have been really distracted! http://www.wesh.com/news/2-planes-collide-while-taxiing-in-daytona-beach/32863752#.VXpdyZEwWjo.facebook Quote
Bob Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 It is possible that it was 2 instruction flights. A lot of energy between instructor and student in both planes? Still hard to understand with 4 sets of eyes between both planes. Glad they were on the ground! Quote
chrisk Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I'd like to hear the tapes of ground control. In particular, what was said after the collision. Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Next thing you know two cars full of people are going to crash into each other! How can this possibly happen? 5 Quote
AndyFromCB Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Maybe they were texting? Or taking selfless? Hopefully not nude selfless... Quote
bonal Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Maybe they were both switching their transponders onto mode c and were not looking out the live displays called windows. Quote
chrisk Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Maybe they were texting? Or playing with their I-Pad. Quote
DAVIDWH Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Surprised it doesn't happen more often. Several reports of heavy iron clipping wings on the ground near ramp space. Obviously one pilot was head down working on map page of ForeFlight while other, student pilot, was chewing gum and turning his cell phone off to avoid distractions while in flight. At least they walked away safely, now just waiting for the barrage of paperwork. Distractions never seem to end. Quote
mpg Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I wonder if it was a case of two very polite guys ,,, saying... after you, oh no after you sir, I insist sir after you, over and over,, inching forward, and over again, inching,,,, Until,,, two stupids either wedge each other into the same doorway,,, or,,, Waiter,,, we are gonna need two propellers and two engines! Even at idle,,, those are serious prop strikes!! wouldnt be surprised to find a broken crank shaft.. Quote

Danb Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Can u imagine nude selfies of Chris'S (marauders) hot Honeys Quote
flyboy0681 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Only thing I can think of is brake failure on one of the planes, even though it shouldn't have affected steering. Quote
fantom Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Trying to program those new wiz bang, do everything GPS's while double checking their iPads at the same time. Sad. 1 Quote

bonal Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Marauder SEEEE what happens when you parade your girls around the airport Quote
ArtVandelay Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 I've gotten some complicated taxing instructions there, there is a MSC there, they don't want you landing on the main runway, so instead of a simple 1 taxiway to main runway, you get a 5 taxiway route, lots of traffic, 2 tower frequencys but only 1 ground frequency Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Complicated taxi instructions make you turn the wrong way, not run into other airplanes. I generally look where I'm going while taxiing. Quote

DrBill Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Could have been ground controller giving wrong instructions to one of the A/C. Happend to me at RDU. After the controller (female) chastized me for not following instructions when I came nose to nose with another a/c on the taxiway, another pilot came on the frequency and simply said "He did what you told him". QUIET for 30-40 seconds. Then I did a quick 180 and resolved the conflict. Bill Quote
Guest Posted June 12, 2015 Report Posted June 12, 2015 Nothing unusual at our airport. Our FBO can even do it with the planes in the hangar! Clarence Quote
