What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 10/24/2024, roughly around 8:50PM, during a night cross-country flight, privacy data omitted landed safely at Okeechobee airport (obe). Aircraft proceeded to taxi down bravo taxiway. During taxi, observed were two other aircraft in the vicinity: one holding short of runway 5 and the other commencing pesticide operations by the hangar was soon to be pulling out on to the taxiway. As aircraft approached the hangar, crew noticed cones positioned at the end of the taxiway, indicating potential restrictions in the area. Given the absence of designated run-up pads on runway 5, they decided to position aircraft in front of the hangar to be out of way. However, as they maneuvered the aircraft the pilot-controlled lights timed out, putting crew and aircraft into darkness. Before crew could react, the aircrafts leading edge made contact with the corner of the hangar. Only minor damage to leading edge was reported. No damage to hangar reported.
