KAL REQUESTED TO LEAVE EARLY, WHICH REQUIRES PRECISE TAXI MANUEVERS IF A/C IS UNDER IT'S OWN POWER. KAL REFUSED OFFER FOR PUSH BACK BY GROUND CREW. IN ORDER FOR LEFT WING TIP OF KAL TO MISS RIGHT WING TIP OF CHINA AIR, AN IMMEDIATE HARD RIGHT TURN IS REQUIRED AT START OF TAXI.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
