AT THE BEGINNING OF A FLIGHT, THE AIRPLANE BATTERY WAS DEAD SO THE PILOT DECIDED TO HAND PROP THE ENGINE. THE PILOT POSITIONED THE THROTTLE TO WHAT HE THOUGHT WAS IDLE AND THOUGHT HE APPLIED THE HAND BRAKE. DURING THE HAND PROPPING, THE ENGINE STARTED. THE AIRPLANE TRAVELLED FORWARD, BREAKING THE LEFT TIEDOWN ROPE. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO BOARD THE AIRPLANE AS IT WAS PIVOTING TO THE RIGHT. THE RIGHT TIEDOWN ROPE BROKE AND THE AIRPLANE TRAVELLED APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET BEFORE COLLIDING WITH A POLE AND AN UNOCCUPIED MOBILE HOME.
