NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
A taxiing Cessna 172N collided with a stationary Cessna 172P in the run-up area. The pilot of the Cessna 172N positioned himself behind the 172P in the run up area. He completed his checklists, and requested takeoff clearance. He received permission to taxi into position and hold on the runway, and added power to taxi around the 172P. He said he failed to realize the close proximity of his airplane's left wing to the 172P's rudder. His airplane's wing tip collided with the other airplane's rudder and vertical stabilizer.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
the pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance from obstacles while taxiing.
