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 acft collided with a cushman scooter during taxi. A witness stated that when the scooter driver 'looked up' I saw the acft taxiing, he made a hard rt turn which threw him off. The scooter driver and scooter were struck separately by the acft. The scooter hit the pass'g side of the acft behind the exhaust pipe. The driver rolled under the acft and the acft rolled over him. The victim died about 2 hrs after the mishap. The scooters approach to the acft had been made at about a 45 degree angle from the right rear of the acft which made it virtually impossible for the plt to see the vehichle. The 1st indication the plt had was the noise of the impact.
