    One jet on top of another, which means taxi speed was too fast especially when another jet was parked. Imagine him crashing into ATC tower or terminal! Somehow I have always felt that small/medium jets pilots are more careless than bigger aircrafts while alertness level is also much less on private airport or pure biz jet airport compared to regular airport but with private terminal. Changi airport at Singapore is good example of this, good & safe for commercial as well as private aircrafts.

    When I learned to fly tail draggers, the instructor told me that the tail dragger waits to catch every pilot and must be flown from the time you pull the chocks until the chocks are reinstalled. I once watched a steerman pilot (who was well experienced) land in a stiff crosswind and upon roll out went into an impressive ground loop which scared the heck out of him (but didn’t damage the airplane). As soon as he could talk he drew a breath and said to me “these taildraggers wait to catch you napping”. It took a few minutes until he could restart the airplane and get his legs to work. It looks to me like the speeds that jet aircraft operate at (including taxi) mean that they are the modern version of the taildragger :). The grim reaper is always close by, waiting for a mistake.

      @Biz Jet TV quite true, plus the fact that his jet went on top of the other probably suggests he was taxing fast. In my friend’s case it wasnt that extreme and the plane was fixed

      If brake failure was the reason he was probably taxiing too fast. I have seen a lot of Biz jets taxi super fast because they are n a hurry and if you do that and have a brake failure, guess what…you could crash into something!

    With all the fuellers, catering, jet starts, a/c, baggage carts/tractors, tugs FMC’s, stairs, belt loaders … It would not surprise me at all, if the stats were to support that the majority of damage/incident reports were whilst the aircraft were on the apron. And likely, …Parked! It was an interesting video. Thanks Poli.

      Many of his Fans, including myself, enjoy and look forward to the intro’s music. I find it to be happy, appropriate and unique. What else would be short enough, upbeat and optimistic… Baroque? Classical? Jazz? .. Annoying uncopywritten video game-like hipsterish music? They have all been done. His channel is best remaining, consistent and unique. What would you suggest?
