## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON 4/29/99 AT APPROX. 1500 HRS. LONG BEACH FSDO WAS ADVISED BY LGB TOWER OF AN INCIDENT AT THE AIRPORT. INSPECTORS R. WOODS AND K. BROCK ARRIVED AT 1525.  THE INCIDENT INVOLVED A CESSNA 206 (N2608X) WHICH HAD TAXIED BEHIND A GULFSTREAM V WHICH WAS AT 85% POWER IN THE RUN-UP AREA.  THE G-V (NIGC) WAS FACING SOUTHWEST.  NORMAL PROCEDURE IS TO FACE NORTHEAST.  THE CESSNA WAS UPSET TO THE RIGHT FRONT QUARTER, DAMAGING THE RIGHT WINGTIP AND PROPELLER.  THE WINDS WERE 190/10 AT THE TIME.  MR. JOSEPH A RIVERA, GULFSTREAM MAINTENANCE, SAID THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS FACING SOUTHWEST DUE TO THE WINDS, AND THE FACT THAT THEY WERE PERFORMING A ENGINE FAN BALANCE.  THEY HAD POSTED A SPOTTER TO WARN THEM OF ANY AIRCRAFT TAXIING BEHIND, BUT HAD NOT INFORMED GROUND CONTROL OF THEIR INTENTION TO FACE IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.  ACCORDING TO MR. RIVERA, THE SPOTTER, MR. JAIME NORRIS, SIGNALED THEM TO REDUCE POWER, WHICH THEY DID.  MR. DANIEL A. FOX, THE PILOT OF THE CESSNA 206, WAS GIVEN CLEARANCE TO TAXI NORTHWEST BOUND ON TAXIWAY DELTA.  HE WAS NOT CAUTIONED BY GROUND CONTROL CONCERNING THE G-V, NOR DID HE NOTICE A SPOTTER, OR THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS AT HIGH POWER.  THE GROUND CONTROLLER, MS. TAMI TOLL EFSON, STATEED THAT SHE WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE G-V WAS FACING SOUTHWEST, CONTRARY TO THEIR NORMAL POSITION. AT THE TIME SHE WAS OCCUPIED WITH GIVING PROGRESSIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO AN MD-11 WHICH HAD JUST LANDED.  SPECIFIC DETAILS AND MEASUREMENTS ARE CONTAINED IN THE LONG BEACH AIRPORT SECURITY REPORT #99-047.  PICTURES OF DAMAGE TO THE CESSNA 206 AND NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF TE INVOLVED PERSONNEL ARE ALSO ON FILE.
