A Falcon 2000, a Falcon 50 and a King Air C90 were damaged in a ground collision on August 28 at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport. According to the NTSB preliminary report, the pilot of the Falcon 2000 said that subsequent to the preflight and before-takeoff checklist being completed, and with the parking brake set to ON, a ground handler pulled the chocks and the airplane immediately began rolling.
Neither the toe brakes nor emergency braking slowed or stopped the airplane, the pilot told NTSB investigators. As the Falcon 2000 continued across the ramp, its right wing went over and scraped the top of the left wing of a parked Falcon 50 before colliding with the Beech C90 in a near head-on collision. The C90 suffered substantial damage, while the Falcon 2000 sustained only minor damage. The extent of damage to the Falcon 50 was not detailed by the NTSB.
