PILOTS STATED THAT DURING THEIR PRE-DEPARTURE BRIEFING IT WAS DISCUSSED THAT THE DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO AIRCRAFTS ON THE TAXI ROUTE WOULD BE CLOSE AND WOULD REQUIRE A SLOW TAXI AND A NEED FOR GROUND GUIDES BECAUSE " IT LOOKED TIGHT". THE FLIGHT CREW ALSO NOTED IN THEIR STATEMENTS THAT THE WING TIPS ON THE  G550 " ARE VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE FROM THE COCKPIT. THE WINGS ARE POSITIONED VERY FAR BACK AND PILOTS HAVE TO TURN THEIR HEADS APPROXIMATELY 150 DEGREES BACK TO SEE THE WINGTIPS".

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.
