Primary finding
Probable cause
The pilot's failure to ensure adequate clearance between the airplane's right wing and the building.
Investigator assessment
Analysis narrative
The pilot reported that after he landed, he proceeded to taxi the airplane to the tie-down area. The pilot turned left, after the fuel pumps, and continued to taxi the airplane between a row of parked airplanes and the FBO building. The pilot stated that he thought one of the parked airplanes was further back in the row, so he moved to the right; the airplane's right wing then impacted the building's porch posts.
