...Google translate indeed...Our editorial office was contacted by a reader
who presented us with his version of the cause of the collision.
In his opinion, it happened as a result of the reckless behavior of the light aircraft pilot.
- According to the testimony of witnesses, the pilot, after starting the plane,
lowered it in order to remove the chocks from under the wheels.
As they were pulled out, the plane picked up speed and rolled down, hitting the cargo plane.
The pilot was not allowed to leave the plane with the engines running. This is a cardinal error.
Every pilot candidate is taught during training that the rule is simple: you are not in the cockpit, the engine is to be turned off.
Yes, there is a mechanism in the plane such as a parking brake [similar to a handbrake in a car - perm. ed.],
which most likely did not work.
It does not change the fact that the situation was unacceptable.
The pilot can only leave the plane when the co-pilot has his feet on the brakes,
reports a reader who asks not to be named.
