Narrative:

At XA45 we taxied onto FBO ramp and were parked by a line service man and asked if we needed anything. After telling him our needs, he fueled us and I did a postflt inspection and went to wait on our passenger. At XA50 we escorted our passenger to the aircraft and boarded them. I then did another walkaround to check for any problems and objects in the way. I then boarded the aircraft, briefed the passenger, and went through the checklists and started the engines. After the start we went through the after start checklist and called ground for taxi clearance and started to taxi. We made a normal left turn out of parking, after passing through approximately 210 degrees (90 degrees of turn). I was unable to steer the aircraft, it was stuck in a left turn, so I stopped the taxi and canceled the taxi clearance with ground. I then proceeded to shut down the aircraft and talk to the passenger about why we stopped. After opening the door and getting out, I was told that a cessna had tilted on its right wing. I looked over behind where the police officer was looking and saw airport operations, fire truck, airport police. He asked if I had noticed or knew anything about the cessna. I told him I did not. At this point he said that he needed my identify and asked if I had used a lot of power. I only used enough to get the aft moving just normal breakaway thrust. It was not known when the cessna was tipped but the police officer asked everyone in the area but no one had seen it happen. He thought that with the strong wind and possibly a little jetblast it may have caused the aircraft to tip onto its right wing. He also discussed how it was not secured for the WX conditions -- no tiedowns and only 1 set of chalks on the right main tire. This aircraft was also parked by FBO personnel. I noticed during the next several days with the same approximately wind direction KT velocity that they parked all other transient aircraft facing the other way on their ramp. I believe that the cessna was tipped by a gust of wind.

Title: AN LTT CREW, TAXIING FROM FBO RAMP AT PVD, ALLEGEDLY BLEW OVER A LIGHT ACFT THAT WAS PARKED ON THE RAMP.

Narrative: AT XA45 WE TAXIED ONTO FBO RAMP AND WERE PARKED BY A LINE SVC MAN AND ASKED IF WE NEEDED ANYTHING. AFTER TELLING HIM OUR NEEDS, HE FUELED US AND I DID A POSTFLT INSPECTION AND WENT TO WAIT ON OUR PAX. AT XA50 WE ESCORTED OUR PAX TO THE ACFT AND BOARDED THEM. I THEN DID ANOTHER WALKAROUND TO CHK FOR ANY PROBS AND OBJECTS IN THE WAY. I THEN BOARDED THE ACFT, BRIEFED THE PAX, AND WENT THROUGH THE CHKLISTS AND STARTED THE ENGS. AFTER THE START WE WENT THROUGH THE AFTER START CHKLIST AND CALLED GND FOR TAXI CLRNC AND STARTED TO TAXI. WE MADE A NORMAL L TURN OUT OF PARKING, AFTER PASSING THROUGH APPROX 210 DEGS (90 DEGS OF TURN). I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE ACFT, IT WAS STUCK IN A L TURN, SO I STOPPED THE TAXI AND CANCELED THE TAXI CLRNC WITH GND. I THEN PROCEEDED TO SHUT DOWN THE ACFT AND TALK TO THE PAX ABOUT WHY WE STOPPED. AFTER OPENING THE DOOR AND GETTING OUT, I WAS TOLD THAT A CESSNA HAD TILTED ON ITS R WING. I LOOKED OVER BEHIND WHERE THE POLICE OFFICER WAS LOOKING AND SAW ARPT OPS, FIRE TRUCK, ARPT POLICE. HE ASKED IF I HAD NOTICED OR KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CESSNA. I TOLD HIM I DID NOT. AT THIS POINT HE SAID THAT HE NEEDED MY IDENT AND ASKED IF I HAD USED A LOT OF PWR. I ONLY USED ENOUGH TO GET THE AFT MOVING JUST NORMAL BREAKAWAY THRUST. IT WAS NOT KNOWN WHEN THE CESSNA WAS TIPPED BUT THE POLICE OFFICER ASKED EVERYONE IN THE AREA BUT NO ONE HAD SEEN IT HAPPEN. HE THOUGHT THAT WITH THE STRONG WIND AND POSSIBLY A LITTLE JETBLAST IT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE ACFT TO TIP ONTO ITS R WING. HE ALSO DISCUSSED HOW IT WAS NOT SECURED FOR THE WX CONDITIONS -- NO TIEDOWNS AND ONLY 1 SET OF CHALKS ON THE R MAIN TIRE. THIS ACFT WAS ALSO PARKED BY FBO PERSONNEL. I NOTICED DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE SAME APPROX WIND DIRECTION KT VELOCITY THAT THEY PARKED ALL OTHER TRANSIENT ACFT FACING THE OTHER WAY ON THEIR RAMP. I BELIEVE THAT THE CESSNA WAS TIPPED BY A GUST OF WIND.
