The accident happened at about 8:30 a.m. Monday at Gillespie Field, said El Cajon spokeswoman Monica Zech.
A single-engine Piper plane with two pilots aboard was taxiing out to the runway when the engine stalled.
One of the pilots got out of the cockpit and tried to "hot prop" the propeller by manually turning it, Zech said.
The man was taken to Sharp Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
