Covering form of preliminary or final report
BackDescription:
On 17 May 2019, while taxiing on TWY F to the place of take-off from RWY 06 at LKPR, the B737-800 aircraft, registration OK-TVW, hit with the end arch of the right half of its wing (winglet) the B737-8CX aircraft, registration N277EA, in the second holding position in the queue on TWY E. During the collision, the edge of the N277EA aircraft stabiliser and the winglet leading edge of the OK-TVW aircraft were mechanically damaged. Neither aircraft was airworthy without being repaired. With regards to international standards and recommended practices, the AAII decided to investigate the causes of the serious incident using its own commission.
The cause of the serious incident was non-observance of a sufficient spacing between two aircraft – the passing one and the one on hold – on the part of the crew of the passing aircraft.
Contributing factor was incorrect performance of CRM.
