  1. Since the plane taxied 'on it's own' the pilot should be held harmless. Case closed.

    1. But the plane should at least perform a 709 check ride ....

    2. On appeal, Cessna Aircraft confessed all their products have internal "brain" and "pilots" are merely along for the ride....

  2. I’ll conjecture that the injected Continental was hard to start, especially if hot.
