| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot was taxiing in at completion of his fourth solo flight. He said he was taxiing too fast as he approached the ramp area. When he realized that wing tip clearance was questionable he applied wheel brakes but the right wingtip impacted a hangar and pivoted the aircraft to the right. When he applied engine power in an effort to straighten out the aircraft the nose pivoted to the right even faster and the propeller cut through the hangar door. There were no mechanical problems.
Probable Cause: the failure of the pilot to assure that clearance was maintained while taxiing in proximity of buildings at an excessive taxi speed.
