(Tty) acft landed and was taxiing on twy a when it collided with N818DW, a rockwell NA-265 acft, which landed and turned onto A5, N4188E has substantial damage, N818DW has minor damage, no injuries were reported, other circumstances are unknown. (-23) according to pilots of both aircraft, both aircraft were cleared by ATC to taxi to parking after landing on runway 21 and collided at intersection A5 and A11. Could not verify because ATC has not provided tapes as requested verbally on 3/21/99 and by official memo dated 3/23/99. (.19) on March 21, 1999, at 1725 hours mountain standard time, a Piper PA-28-181, N4188E, and a rockwell international NA-265-80, N818DW, collided on taxiway alpha while taxing to their respective parking locations at the Scottsdale, Arizona, airport. Both aircraft had just landed on runway 21 and were in contact with the Scottsdale FAA air traffic control tower. The Piper PA-28-181 was issued a clearance to taxi by the ground controller, and the rockwell NA-265-80 had turned off the runway and was issued a taxi clearance by the local controller. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The Piper PA-28-181 was owned and operated by sabena airline training center of Scottsdale as a local area solo instructional flight, which originated at the Scottsdale airport about 1630. The rockwell NA-265-80 was owned and operated by dw holdings, LLC, of sparta, new jersey, and was concluding a cross-country corporate flight, which originated from Kansas city, Kansas, at 1723 central standard time. An IFR flight plan was filed for the rockwell's flight and no flight plan was on file for the Piper. Both aircraft were operated under 14 CFR part 91 of the federal aviation regulations. The Piper PA-28-181 sustained substantial damage and the student pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The rockwell NA-265-80 sustained minor damage and neither the airline transport pilot captain, the commercial pilot first officer, nor the three passengers were injured. The student pilot in the Piper PA-28 reported that she landed on runway 21, exited at taxiway A11, and contacted ground control. A taxi clearance was issued by the controller to proceed southbound on taxiway alpha to parking. As she approached turnoff A5, the rockwell NA-265-80 exited the runway in front of her. , said that she first thought about stopping, but then the rockwell appeared to be stopping, and in the absence of a change in her clearance, she continued to taxi. When it became apparent that the rockwell was not stopping she was too close and tried to turn to the right to avoid the collision. The student said the Piper's left wing struck the forward avionics bay of the rockwell and became entangled in the structure. The left wing of the Piper was torn off as the rockwell moved forward. The crew of the rockwell said they landed on runway 21 and slowed to turn off at A7. The local controller then asked them where they intended to park. Following the crew's response, the local controller told the crew to taxi forward on the runway, turn right on A5, taxi to the ramp and monitor the ground control frequency. The crew stated that the controller did not advise them of any traffic on the taxiway. The crew said they turned off the runway on A5 and the first officer was looking down at the pedestal changing radio frequencies just as they crossed the hold bars. They reported that they did not see the Piper on taxiway alpha. (.4) a Piper PA-28-181, N4188E, and a rockwell NA-265-80, N818D w, collided on a taxiway parallel to the runway while taxing to their respective parking locations. Both aircraft had just landed on runway 21 and were in contact with the ATCT. The Piper was issued a clearance to taxi by the ground controller, and the sabreliner had turned off the runway and was issued a taxi clearance by the local controller. The Piper exited the runway at taxiway A11, and contacted ground control. A taxi clearance was issued by the controller to proceed southbound on taxiway alpha to parking. The controller did not advise the pilot of any traffic entering the taxiway from the runway. At the time the ground controller issued the taxi clearance to the Piper, the sabreliner was given a landing clearance by the local controller. The sabreliner slowed and was preparing to turn off the runway at A7; however, the local controller inquired where the aircraft was parking and subsequently told the crew to taxi forward on the runway, turn off at A5 and taxi to parking, and to monitor ground. As the pilot of the Piper approached the intersection of A5, she observed the sabreliner exiting runway 21 and continued taxiing because it appeared that the sabreliner was sto pping and no other instructions were issued by the ground controller. When the Piper reached the intersection she realized the sabreliner wasn't stopping and attempted to turn right and avoid the aircraft. The left wing of the Piper struck the forward avionics bay of the sabreliner. The local controller did not advise the crew of the sabreliner of any traffic on the taxiway. The crew said they turned off runway 21 on A5 and the first officer was looking down at the pedestal changing radio frequencies just as they crossed the hold bars. The crew reported that they did not see the Piper on taxiway alpha. Review of the air-to-ground communications tapes disclosed that neither of the controllers issued traffic information or hold short instructions to either aircraft. FAA order 7110.65 specifically states that local controllers and ground controllers shall exchange information as necessary for the safe and efficient use of airport runways and movement areas. Local controllers and ground controllers shall protect any runway/taxiway/ramp intersection if an aircraft is required to enter that intersection to clear the landing runway.
