What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Heavy snow was falling, taxiways were very slippery, and directional control was difficult. Numerous a/c had been taxiing for 2-3 hours awaiting gates. Turnkish 006 was taxiing for departure as instructed, but the pilots spoke only labored english. It is apparent from the ATC audio tape that the ground controller could not see turkish 006, and did not know exactly where the a/c was. The crew of turkish 006 could see that their way was blocked by the tail of the motionless nwa 142, a DC-9. They attempted to explain this to the busy ground controller, but the controller apparaently misunderstood. Instead of clarifying, the controller repeatedly instructed turkish 006 to continue to taxi. The pilot complied by moving forward as FAR as possible, and in so doing they finally found a stretch of pavement with no nil braking. As the A-340 slid forward, the left wingtio struck the rudder of the nwa DC-9, resulting in minor damage to both a/c. there were no injuries.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) HEAVY SNOW WAS FALLING, TAXIWAYS WERE VERY SLIPPERY, AND DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS DIFFICULT. NUMEROUS A/C HAD BEEN TAXIING FOR 2-3 HOURS AWAITING GATES. TURNKISH 006 WAS TAXIING FOR DEPARTURE AS INSTRUCTED, BUT THE PILOTS SPOKE ONLY LABORED ENGLISH. IT IS APPARENT FROM THE ATC AUDIO TAPE THAT THE GROUND CONTROLLER COULD NOT SEE TURKISH 006, AND DID NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE A/C WAS. THE CREW OF TURKISH 006 COULD SEE THAT THEIR WAY WAS BLOCKED BY THE TAIL OF THE MOTIONLESS NWA 142, A DC-9. THEY ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN THIS TO THE BUSY GROUND CONTROLLER, BUT THE CONTROLLER APPARAENTLY MISUNDERSTOOD. INSTEAD OF CLARIFYING, THE CONTROLLER REPEATEDLY INSTRUCTED TURKISH 006 TO CONTINUE TO TAXI. THE PILOT COMPLIED BY MOVING FORWARD AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, AND IN SO DOING THEY FINALLY FOUND A STRETCH OF PAVEMENT WITH NO NIL BRAKING. AS THE A-340 SLID FORWARD, THE LEFT WINGTIO STRUCK THE RUDDER OF THE NWA DC-9, RESULTING IN MINOR DAMAGE TO BOTH A/C. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
