Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot was not totally familiar with the operation of this aircraft. The aircraft engine was started without setting the parking brake properly. The pilot did not have his feet on the brakes and could not reduce the throttle because of the throttle lock. By the time he cut the ignition switch off the aircraft had crossed the taxiway and collided with twoparked and unoccupied aircraft.
