Flight History
After landing, the airplane received clearance to taxi to the north ramp. The certified flight instructor (CFI) occupying the left seat assumed control of the airplane for positioning and parking. According to the left-seat CFI, while applying left rudder, his foot slipped down and off the left pedal. He then immediately applied full left rudder, but the right wing contacted one of the corner metal poles. The right-seat CFI reported that as the pilot in control was initiating a turn, his foot slipped off the rudder, leading to the wing striking a fence pole. Both pilots stated that the airplane was shut down promptly and assistance was sought.
Post-Accident Examination
Post-accident inspection revealed that the right wing had sustained damage to the leading edge spar and extensive skin buckling. Additionally, the right wing tip was deformed. The engine, landing gear, fuselage, and left wing were found intact and undamaged. The pilot reported no mechanical issues with the airplane prior to or during the event.
