    Uploaded by

    The Bombardier aircraft had landed and was stopped on the ramp at Portland International Airport waiting to be marshaled to its parking spot when the wingtip of an Airbus taxiing on the taxiway collided with the tail of the Bombardier. The captain and augmenting captain of the Airbus had visually checked for clearance but failed to maintain adequate clearance as they passed behind the Bombardier, striking its tail with the left wingtip and damaging structures on both aircraft. The NTSB determined the probable cause was the failure of the Airbus flightcrew to maintain clearance while taxiing.

    The Airbus was taxiing east via Taxiway B to runway 28L for departure. The Bombardier had landed, taxied to the gate area, and was
    stopped on the ramp located north of Taxiway B waiting to be marshaled to its parking spot. The Bombardier was sitting on a northerly
    heading, oriented perpendicular to Taxiway B with its tail towards the taxiway. The captain and augmenting captain of the Airbus
    visually checked for clearance between their left wingtip and the tail of the Bombardier and decided that there was adequate clearance.
    However, as the Airbus passed behind the Bombardier, the left wingtip of the Airbus struck the tail of the Bombardier. The left winglet
    of the Airbus was scraped, bent and cracked. The vertical stabilizer, horizontal stabilizer, both elevators, and the rudder of the
    Bombardier sustained structural damage.
