NTSB narrative
TWO BEECH F33A AIRCRAFT, N6486N AND N5519A, COLLIDED ON THE GROUND AT THE MOBILE, ARIZONA, AIRPORT DURING TWO SUPERVISED SOLO INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHTS. BOTH AIRCRAFT WERE OWNED AND OPERATED BY AIRLINE TRAINING CENTER, GOODYEAR, ARIZONA, AS PART OF THE LUFTHANSA AIRLINES PILOT TRAINING PROGRAM. N5519A HAD LANDED ON THE RUNWAY AND PULLED OFF ONTO THE PARALLEL TAXIWAY AND STOPPED TO COMPLETE THE POST LANDING CHECKLIST. N6486N LANDED ON THE RUNWAY, EXITED AT THE HIGH SPEED TURN OFF AND COLLIDED WITH N5519A. THE PILOT OF N6486N SAID THAT HE WAS TRAVELING TOO FAST WHEN HE TURNED OFF THE RUNWAY TO STOP BEHIND N5519A.
Probable cause
THE FAILURE OF THE PILOT TO EXIT THE RUNWAY ONTO THE TAXIWAY AT A SPEED SUFFICIENT TO STOP PRIOR TO COLLIDING WITH THE STOPPED AIRCRAFT.

Source notes (4)
- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
