Incident Overview
A Bombardier CL-600 Regional Jet (CRJ) was stationary on a taxiway that divided into two separate paths. The CRJ's parking brake was engaged, and its crew awaited the movement of aircraft ahead on one of the taxiways. Meanwhile, a Boeing 727 attempted to pass obliquely behind the CRJ using the other taxiway.
Sequence of Events
According to the investigation source, the Boeing 727 captain was aware of the CRJ's position and believed there was adequate clearance to proceed. The 727 continued along its taxiway centerline. During the maneuver, the Boeing crew noticed a slight bump, which they initially attributed to a seam in the concrete. However, they then heard the CRJ crew broadcast the impact over the radio.
Damage Description
The collision occurred when the Boeing 727's left wing struck the CRJ's right winglet. The impact was from aft to forward. The source does not specify additional damage to either aircraft, nor does it list any injuries or fatalities.
