AS THE ACFT WAS BEING TAXIED BEHIND OTHER ACFT ON THE PARKING RAMP, THE LEFT WING STRUCK A LIGHT POLE AT THE EDGE OF THE RAMP. THE PLT SAID THAT HE WAS WATCHING THE RIGHT WING FOR CLEARANCE FROM A PARKED ACFT & FAILED TO NOTE THE CLOSENESS OF THE POLE.
Probable Cause: INADEQUATE VISUAL OUTLOOK BY THE PILOT AND HIS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CLEARANCE FROM THE LIGHT POLE. THE LOCATION OF THE POLE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE A RELATED FACTOR.
