| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he was taxiing for takeoff when he inadvertently turned onto a vehicle service road instead of the taxiway as he was leaving the ramp area. He then looked down to review the airport diagram on his tablet. As he was reviewing the airport diagram while still taxiing, the left wing impacted a fence post. The airplane’s nose then turned left, and the front of the airplane impacted a vehicle gate, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing.
Probable Cause: The pilot’s improper navigation onto a vehicle service road while taxiing and his subsequent distraction while looking at an airport diagram, which led to the airplane impacting a fence post.
