Analysis
After lndg, the PIC was clrd to taxi to the g/a ramp. He was not aware of the new g/a ramp & proceeded toward the old ramp. He saw a large acft coming from the opposite drctn on the same twy, so he modified his route by selecting another way. Mistakenly, he selected a vehicular road. After he was on the road, he realized the situation & proceeded to the next intersection. However, after traveling a short distance, the acft's rgt wing hit a steel sign, which the plt had not seen. On 4/22/87 (date of last flt med), the plt rprtd he had a total flt time of 320 hrs.
