Incident Overview
During a plane ride being given to family members, a woman who was photographing the event walked into a parking area adjacent to a taxiway. While looking through the viewfinder of her camera, her depth perception was impaired, causing her to move too close to the taxiway and into the path of the airplane's wing.
Sequence of Events
The pilot was providing a flight to his brother, the brother's grandson, and the child's mother. The child's grandmother desired to take pictures and positioned herself in the parking area next to the taxiway. As she was looking through the camera's viewfinder, her depth perception became compromised, leading her to walk excessively close to the taxiway and directly into the trajectory of the airplane's wing.
Injuries
She was struck by the wing tip, receiving a glancing blow to the side of her head. Subsequently, she fell and sustained a fracture of her left clavicle.
Investigation
The incident was investigated by the relevant aviation safety authorities. No further details regarding aircraft specifications, pilot actions, or environmental conditions were provided in the source material. The focus of the report was on the circumstances leading to the pedestrian's collision with the aircraft component.
