What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The PA-28 aircraft was reported to be 283 feet behind the BD-700
Aircraft. The two aircraft were facing away from each other. 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 diagram 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
