ATL84LA170

Factual narrative

THE PLT REPORTED THAT AFTER HE & HIS PASSENGERS WERE ABOARD THE ACFT, THE ENG WAS RUNNING & GROUND CONTROL HAD CLEARED HIM TO TAXI WHEN HE DISCOVERED THAT THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL WAS STILL CHOCKED, PREVENTING FORWARD MOVEMENT OF THE ACFT. HE WAS SETTING HIS PARKING BRAKE WHEN THE PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT UNSTRAPPED & EXITED THE ACFT, WITHOUT ANY INSTRUCTION FROM THE PLT. THE PLT INITIATED AN ENG SHUTDOWN; HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO SHUT IT DOWN BEFORE THE PASSENGER WALKED FORWARD INTO THE ARC OF THE PROPELLER. THE PLT STATED THAT THE LIGHTS ON TOP OF THE HANGAR PROVIDED GOOD ILLUMINATION. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
