Incident Overview
A student pilot was taxiing after completing his fourth solo flight. He reported that he was moving too fast as he approached the ramp area. Recognizing that the clearance for the wingtip was insufficient, he applied wheel brakes. Despite this, the right wingtip struck a hangar, pivoting the aircraft to the right.
Sequence of Events
Attempting to straighten the aircraft, the pilot applied engine power. This action caused the nose to pivot to the right even more rapidly, and the propeller subsequently cut through the hangar door. The pilot stated there were no mechanical problems with the aircraft before or during the incident.
Aircraft and Hangar Damage
The right wingtip made contact with the hangar, and the propeller sliced into the hangar door. The extent of damage to the aircraft and hangar was not specified in the source.
Pilot Experience
The pilot was on his fourth solo flight at the time of the incident. No further details about the pilot's training or experience were provided.
