SIA Ground Collision

wrong
Only the 777-200LR and the 777-300ER have raked wingtips and therefore a little more span, maybe 1 or 2 feet extra each side? All other 777 versions have the same wingspan.
SQ has 777-300ER's with raked wingtips but the a/c involved were 200ER's.
Besides, If you are that close as to worry about extra span then you should stop and get a marshal.
the ER's have wider wingspans

SQ pilots rarely look out their windows, and just recently I had a similar incursion by an SQ 777 cutting us up. No doubt it was not worthy of a mention in the lyin city, just as other incidents involving SQ aircraft over the years.

All of what you say is correct, we will have to wait for official report to know reason for contact.
200LR and 300 ER wing span 212 ft 7 in
200, 300 and 200 ER wing span 199 ft 11 in
12 ft ..... two body lengths quite a good distance.
Worth considering wrong side of aircraft for a wing walker, everyone doing push out would have been blind sided by aircraft turning. Responsibility would have to have been with the taxiing aircraft.

Oh I see where you are coming from " allthatglitters' Because everything points to the engineer NOT being responsible and the Pilot or airtaffic control being liable then the Engineer will wear the blame.

Does any "true" T-7 drivers out there care to comment on whether they can see the wing-tips from the cockpit.?
Without winding down the cockpit windows that is.
Please dun mention the cameras as they do not have a view of the wing tips
either.

From the net:
On 19 April 2005, a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-200ER stopped 194 meters (640 feet) beyond a painted stop line at Bangkok International Airport. Its left wing tip was clipped by a Thai Airways International Airbus A330-300 taxiing for take-off
Anyone remember this one?
