AAIB investigation to Bombardier Challenger 350, LN-JHH
Left wingtip collided with a lamppost whilst parking, Dundee Airport, 30 May 2023.
Summary:
Whilst being marshalled on the main apron the left wingtip of the aircraft collided with a lamppost. Neither the flight crew nor the marshaller were aware how close the wingtip was to the lamppost. Wing spotters positioned to mitigate this risk saw the impending collision and attempted to signal the aircraft to stop but neither the flight crew nor the marshaller saw the signals.
The airport operator intends to enhance its guidance to ground crew. The aircraft operator issued a notice to its pilots reminding them about standard marshalling signals.
