Factual narrative
On January 15, 2001, at 1730 hours Pacific standard time, a Cessna TR182, N63BD, was substantially damaged when the left wing struck a hangar while taxiing to parking after landing at Buchanan Field, Concord, California. The private pilot and one passenger were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local area personal flight. The flight was operated by the owner under 14 CFR Part 91, and departed from Concord at 1630. In his report to the Safety Board, the pilot reported making a wide turn onto the taxiway and said he then did not correct quickly enough to avoid striking the hangar. The pilot reported that, upon exiting the runway, he made too wide a turn onto the taxiway and then did not correct quickly enough to avoid striking a hangar with the left wingtip.
