Hit the Terminal Building

Post by pelmet »

Apparently happened to one of the larger turboprops at my old company.

Still happening(Pitt Meadows)......

C-FHTI, a privately registered Cessna 172 operated by Golden Ears Flying Club, was taxiing for a
local flight with 1 pilot on board. While taxiing on the apron, the pilot turned right to pass an aircraft
taxiing from the opposite direction on the apron. After passing the opposite direction aircraft, the
pilot began turning left to continue his taxi. During this turn, the aircraft's right wing struck the
terminal building. The pilot advised air traffic control, shut down the engine, and pushed the aircraft
back to its parking spot to assess the damage. There were no injuries; the aircraft sustained
substantial damage.
