Incident Details
After landing on runway 31L, a Boeing 767 (B-767) exited at taxiway A4 in accordance with air traffic control instructions and proceeded south on parallel taxiway A toward its company ramp area. The company ramp area is situated across taxiway A from a light aircraft runup area for runway 31R at taxiway A8. Inbound aircraft must make an approximate 130-degree left turn into the parking positions, which are located abeam the runup area.
Pilot Accounts
The B-767 flight crew reported observing a Cessna 150 in the runup area for runway 31R at taxiway A8 as they approached. Despite the presence of the small aircraft, the B-767 continued into the parking area, with the Cessna remaining in the runup area. The Cessna pilot stated that the B-767 passed "very close" laterally. The B-767 captain noted that the initiation of the left turn into the parking ramp was performed "with enough power to maintain forward progress for [the] turn."
Consequence
The jet blast generated by the turning B-767 caused the Cessna 150 to be upset onto its nose and wingtip. The report does not specify any injuries or damage to either aircraft beyond the upset of the Cessna.
