Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Lincoln, Nebraska 68524
Tuesady, May 26, 1998 18:06 CDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
N60HB landed on runway 14 and was instructed to hold short of runway 17L on taxiway Kilo. N11498 was cleared to land on runway 17L and was instructed to turn left on Kilo and to contact ground control. The pilot reported he cleared the runway and stopped while attempting to contact ground control. N60HB was then instructed to cross runway 17L and to monitor ground control. N60HB proceeded across the runway and prior to crossing the hold short line on the east side of the runway, the propeller from N60HB contacted the elevator of N11498. The pilot of N60HB stated that upon crossing 17L she began an 'S' turn at which time she saw N11498, but was unable to avoid contacting the airplane. She said there is a crest in the middle of 17L and she never heard mention of the Mooney on either the tower or ground control frequencies.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
the pilot of N60BH failed to maintain clearance with N11498. Factors associated with the accident were the diminished visual lookout due to the runway and the tail wheel configuration of N60HB, along with the controllers failure to point out traffic.
