Taxiing

Following a flight from El Nido Palawan, the crew of the Twin Otter landed at Manila-Ninoy Aquino Airport and was instructed to taxi via F1 to reach his parking place. At the same time, a Boeing 737-3Y0 operated by Philippine Airlines (flight PR1370 from Manila to Bacolod) was taking off from runway 13 so the crew of the Twin Otter was instructed to hold on taxiway F1. For unknown reasons, the crew misinterpreted this instruction and started to cross the runway when the Boeing 737 collided with the DHC-6 that was dragged for 130 metres. The Boeing was slightly damaged on its nose while the Twin Otter was destroyed. Both pilots were injured.

While taxiing at Lyudao Airport (Green Island), the pilot-in-command lost control of the aircraft that veered off runway and came to rest in a ravine. All 19 occupants evacuated safely while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While taxiing at Kuala Lumpur Airport, the pilot applied braked when approaching a right turn when the aircraft veered 90° to the left, rolled through the ramp and eventually collided with a parked Pelangi Air Dornier DO228 registered 9M-PEL. While the DO228 was slightly damaged, the Y12 was written off. All 19 occupants escaped uninjured.

The II-22 operated by the Kazakh government collided with an Antonov AN-12 at Almaty Airport. The accident occurred in unknown circumstances and while the AN-12 suffered minor damages, the II-22 was damaged beyond repair. There were no casualties. The accident occurred somewhere in January 1995, exact date unknown.

Two technicians took over the airplane from the main Continental maintenance hangar to the gate 41. While approaching the gate, the right wing of the B737 collided with the left wing of a Continental Airlines Boeing 737-300 that was towed from the next gate. While the second B737 was slightly damaged, the right wing of the B737 registered was partially sheared off. There were no casualties but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

During the takeoff roll on runway 30R, the MD-82, N954U, collided with the Cessna 441, N441KM, which was positioned on the runway waiting for takeoff clearance. The pilot of the Cessna acted on an apparently preconceived idea that he would use his arrival runway, runway 30R, for departure. After receiving taxi clearance to back-taxi into position and hold on runway 31, the pilot taxied into a position at an intersection on runway 30R, which was the assigned departure runway for the MD-82. The ATIS current at the time the Cessna pilot was operating in the Lambert-St. Louis area listed runways 30R and 30L as the active runways for arrivals and departures; there was no mention of the occasional use of runway 31. Air traffic control personnel were not able to maintain visual contact with the Cessna after it taxied from the well lighted ramp area into the runway/taxiway environment of the northeast portion of the airport. An operational ASDE-3, particularly ASDE-3 enhanced with AMASS, could be used to supplement visual scan of the northeast portion of the airport.

While taxiing at Blagoveshchensk-Ignatyevo Airport, the pilot was forced to make an evasive maneuver to avoid a collision with a bus. Doing so, the nose gear collided with a drainage ditch (25 cm deep) located on the left side of the taxiway. On impact, the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft came to rest. All 14 occupants evacuated safely and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

While taxiing at Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport, the crew heard a loud bang and returned to the apron. Investigations revealed major damages to the right main gear and wing structure after the trunnion support beam of the right main gear failed.

According to the owner, he and the pilot had flown from Albany, Georgia to swap a Piper 28 for the Aero Commander 680. Prior to completing the trade, the previous owner reconstructed a set of aircraft maintenance logs which revealed the estimated total airframe time and engine serial numbers. The owner assumed that the airplane was airworthy. Since the pilot was not Aero Commander rated, they decided to taxi the airplane on the ramp and runway to gain some experience. While taxiing at a high rate of speed on runway 09, the owner reported that a gust of wind caught the airplane as the taxi speed approached 65 mph. The pilot lost control of the airplane as it became airborne. The airplane rotated to the right and the right wing struck the ground; the airplane cartwheeled to a stop facing the opposite direction. The wreckage examination failed to disclose a mechanical malfunction. Reportedly, the pilot completed a preflight but, the wreckage examination discovered a large bird's nest in the sump area of the left engine and a missing exhaust manifold. The pilot was not multi engine rated. The pilot was killed and the passenger was seriously injured.

While taxiing at Luanda-4 de Fevereiro Airport, the nose gear collapsed. All four crew members evacuated uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
