Lincoln Park, New Jersey 07035
Monday, July 13, 1998 17:30 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The pilot flew to the airport to pick up his father. He said that he had touched down on runway 19, and was taxiing back to the runway, when he saw his father at the end of the taxiway on the left. The airplane was travelling on the center line of the taxiway, when its right wing tip struck a fuel truck that was parked in front of another airplane, that was tied down. The pilot was not from the area.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

Inadequate visual lookout by the pilot, which resulted in his failure to see and avoid the fuel truck. Related factors were the truck and the pilot was unfamiliar with that area.
