AAIB investigation to DH82A Tiger Moth, G-AXBW - Correction
Correction to a record only event.
Summary:
Prior to publication the AAIB was informed that, during this accident, G-AXBW collided with two other aircraft rather than the single aircraft originally reported.
As a consequence, the report has been amended to reflect the involvement of this additional aircraft. The amended report now reads:
After hand-swinging the propeller to start the engine, the engine rpm unexpectedly increased. As the pilot had omitted to chock the aircraft, it moved forwards and collided at low speed with two other Tiger Moths which were parked nearby. The pilot considered that the safety message is to ensure, in future, that the aircraft is chocked prior to start.
The online version of this report was corrected prior to publication on 9 December 2021.
