What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
PIC / CFI was conducting a training flight under part 141. PIC / CFI was allowing the student to operate the controls of the aircraft to taxi after deicing procedures were completed. PIC / CFI observed a lack of student control input/ timeliness while maneuvering out of the deicing station. PIC / CFI took control of the aircraft to complete the turn of the aircraft out of place. In the process of maneuvering, the right wing of the aircraft struck a metal fence post adjacent to the taxi way causing damage to the leading edge and buckling of the upper/ lower surface of the wing. PIC / CFI shut down the aircraft in place and called operations.
