Read the full NTSB narrative
A Cessna 182P and a Cessna 172L were within a lineup of aircraft anticipating takeoff. The 182P was about 10-15 feet ahead of the 172L, and both aircraft were stopped on the taxiway. The pilot of the 172L focused his attention on setting up radio frequencies for his departure route, and when he looked up realized his aircraft was rolling forward. He applied braking and right rudder to swing the nose of his aircraft to the right during which the propeller of his aircraft struck the right horizontal stabilizer and elevator of the 182P. The pilot of the 182P felt a vibration, looked back, and observed the 172L behind him stopped with its propeller into the right elevator of his aircraft. The pilot of the 172L radioed the tower reporting, 'Ah, I just clipped the plane in front of me. My brakes slipped and I just crashed into his elevator.' He also reported no mechanical malfunction with his aircraft.
