## Narrative

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

THE PA-28 AIRCRAFT WAS REPORTED TO BE 283 FEET BEHIND THE BD-700 AIRCRAFT. THE TWO AIRCRAFT WERE FACING AWAY FROM EACHOTHER. THE BD-700 AIRCRAFT AFFECTED THE PA-28 WITH JETBLAST DURING A SYSTEMS CHECK, CAUSING WRINKLES ON THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES AND DENTING IN THE AIRCRAFT SKIN.

CHECKLISTS PROVIDED BY THE CREW OF THE BD-700 SHOW NO REASON TO INCREASE THRUST. GROUND IDLE POWER DANGER AREA DIAGRRAM PROVIDED BY THE OPERATOR OF THE BD-700 SHOWS MINIMAL/NO DANGER BEYOND 275 FEET BEHIND THE AIRCRAFT. SECURITY VIDEO FOOTAGE SHOWS THE THRUST BEING INCREASED DURING WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMS CHECK, THIS CAN BE SEEN DUE TO THE AIRCRAFT BETWEEN THE PA-28 AND BD-700 ROCKING SIGNIFICANTLY WHILE TIED DOWN.

FIRST PILOT INFORMATION PROVIDED IS THE PIC OF THE PA-28 AIRCRAFT.  THE SECOND PILOT IS THE PIC OF THE BD-700 AIRCRAFT.  AIRCRAFT INFORMATION PROVIDED IS FOR THE PA-28 AIRCRAFT THAT SUSTAINED THE DAMAGE.
