Analysis

WHILE TAXIING AFTER LANDING, N911E WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAXI TO A POSITION AND HOLD, EN ROUTE TO THAT POSITION, THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH N75397 THAT WAS ALSO HOLDING IN THE SAME POSITION. THE PLT OF N911E STATED THAT HE DID NOT SEE THE ACFT DUE TO MOISTURE THAT HAD ACCUMULATED ON THE WIND SHIELD, THE CONFIGURATION OF THE ACFT CONTRIBUTED TO POOR FORWARD VISIBILITY, AND THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR WAS CLOSE TO FLAT WHICH LED TO POOR BRAKING ACTION.
