What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The flight originated at brown field in san diego area (sdm). On arrival there was a windstorm out of the south. The company's standard procedure is to pull straight-in in tight quarters between two hangars. Arrival time was at dusk; dark conditions prevailed, but not dark enough to trigger hangar exterior lighting. No movement/parking marks are painted on surface in this area. PIC made decision to do a non-standard right 180 degree turn so as to park a/c into the strong southerly wind. Port engine had been secured after leaving runway as SOP for deplaning passenger safety. Crew was being marshalled by an FBO employee who is reportedly not trained/qualified as a marshaller and who was not using lighted wands. As a/c was in the right turn, PIC crew was distracted by concern for safety of the ground crewman, and by the need to closely monitor brake pressure gauge on right side of cockpit. Aircraft was turning into the operating engine, and arc was insufficient. The tip of port wing contacted a closed hangar door. The damage to the hangar door was minor, consisting of a horizontal dent and adjacent puncture approx. 12' x 18'. Damage to tip of left wing appeared to be superficial. According to a/w inspector, "damage includes left hand wing tip and forward spar from wintip attachment to approximately 12" inboard of wingtip. Skin and associated plumbing for fuel vent also damaged." The a/c has undergone a standard repair iaw the repair manual. No 337 is necessary according to the a/w inspector and a local der. PIC krueger has mailed photos of the open wing and damage detail to NTSB in effort to make the case that this is not an accident.
