Narrative:

After pushback and departure salute which indicated all clear, I advanced power to normal taxi thrust. The guideman signaled 'stop' and yelled up we had just rocked a light aircraft's wings behind us. We were never advised that our engines would be aimed at any object or airplane. The field temperature was 101 degrees F and 7000 ft plus density altitude. We resumed taxi and flight departed. Corrective action: 1) ground crew 'dropped our aircraft' in a position that caused our blast to reach the light aircraft. 2) should have advised cockpit of light aircraft behind. 3) this light aircraft parking lot had no tie-downs. Obviously should have in a routine movement area for jets.

Title: RAMP OP RAMP DEP PROC PUSHBACK.

Narrative: AFTER PUSHBACK AND DEP SALUTE WHICH INDICATED ALL CLR, I ADVANCED PWR TO NORMAL TAXI THRUST. THE GUIDEMAN SIGNALED 'STOP' AND YELLED UP WE HAD JUST ROCKED A LIGHT ACFT'S WINGS BEHIND US. WE WERE NEVER ADVISED THAT OUR ENGS WOULD BE AIMED AT ANY OBJECT OR AIRPLANE. THE FIELD TEMP WAS 101 DEGS F AND 7000 FT PLUS DENSITY ALT. WE RESUMED TAXI AND FLT DEPARTED. CORRECTIVE ACTION: 1) GND CREW 'DROPPED OUR ACFT' IN A POS THAT CAUSED OUR BLAST TO REACH THE LIGHT ACFT. 2) SHOULD HAVE ADVISED COCKPIT OF LIGHT ACFT BEHIND. 3) THIS LIGHT ACFT PARKING LOT HAD NO TIE-DOWNS. OBVIOUSLY SHOULD HAVE IN A ROUTINE MOVEMENT AREA FOR JETS.
