DHC-8-402 Dash 8, G-JECY

Summary:

Towards the end of the push back, a loud noise on the ground crew interphone caused the ground crewman to remove his headset and revert to hand signals. The captain was distracted by the breakdown in communication and believed he did not apply the parking brake before the tug was disconnected. The aircraft rolled backwards and came to rest with the right main wheel off the edge of the apron.
