Background
On June 7, 2023, at 21:00 UTC, a ground collision occurred at Aeródromo Morón, Buenos Aires province, between two aircraft: a Beechcraft 23, registration LV-BPE, and a Tecnam P92 Mk II, registration LV-S100. The event was classified as a ground collision (GCOL) and was investigated by the Dirección Nacional de Investigación de Sucesos Aeronáuticos (DNISAE).
The Incident
The pilot of the Beechcraft 23 initiated engine start with the intention of taxiing to another platform, without planning a flight. Shortly after engine start, the aircraft unexpectedly began to taxi. The pilot was unable to stop the aircraft, and it struck the Tecnam P92, which was parked approximately 15 meters ahead. The Tecnam had no occupants on board at the time of the impact. The throttle of the Beechcraft was found in the maximum power position.
Aircraft Information
Both aircraft sustained damage classified as "de importancia" (significant). The Beechcraft 23 (serial number M-153) and the Tecnam P92 (serial number 1616) were both privately owned and operated. Neither flight had an active itinerary, as the Beechcraft was taxiing without a flight plan, and the Tecnam was stationary.
Investigation
The DNISAE conducted an intervention in accordance with its procedures. The investigation concluded that the event warranted no further analysis beyond the basic information gathered, and the case was forwarded for archiving. No probable cause was stated in the official report.
