Analysis
The plt had boarded two pax and started the eng. When he attempted to taxi he realized he still had a chocked gear. Leaving the eng running he got out and found the nose gear chocked. When he removed the chock, the acft which was parked on an incline began to roll forward. While the plt was attempting to reboard, the eng went to full power. The acft rolled several hundred ft and then struck a sod bank, a chain link fence and burst into flames.
