On the 11th of December A Cessna 182T Skylane  and a Grumman American AA-5 Traveler, were involved in a ground collision at Pearland Regional Airport in Houston, Texas. There were no injuries. Preliminary information indicates the Cessna landed on runway 32 when it started taxiing off and was struck from behind by the Grumman.

In this episode I’m going to look at what happened and discuss how emergency training and aircraft systems knowledge can help prevent a near tragedy like this from happening again.
