Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot was taxiing the aircraft back to his hangar. Upon reaching the hangar he made a 180 degree turn to position the aircraft so he could push it backwards into the hangar. During the turn the left wing impacted a pole.
