Ground Collisions
Ground Collisions (GCOL) are defined as collisions involving at least one aircraft and either another aircraft, or
vehicle, or person or object during taxi. The EASp identifies ground collisions as another of the key operational
safety risks for Commercial Air Transport aircraft. The number of ground collisions per year at EASA MS Aero‑
dromes is shown in Figure 50. Figures for ground collisions involving CAT Aeroplanes are shown in Chapter 5,
while figures for ground collisions at EASA MS Aerodromes are shown in Figure 51.
In total, there were 39 ground collision accidents and serious incidents at EASA MS aerodromes between 2010
and 2014, ten of which occurred in 2014.
