NTSB Factual Report

On October 5, 2006, at approximately 1100 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 182M, N70946, was substantially damaged when it impacted a temporary construction fence during taxi at Boise Air Terminal, Boise, Idaho. The private pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. The pilot/owner was operating the aircraft under Title 14 CFR Part 91. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the cross-country flight which originated from Nampa, Idaho, approximately 20 minutes before the accident. No flight plan had been filed.

The pilot said that he was taxiing to his hangar with the airplane's nose wheel on the centerline of the taxiway. The airplane's left wing struck a temporary construction fence that had been moved onto the edge of the taxiway. The left wing leading edge was damaged approximately 6 feet in from the wingtip and the left aileron was separated from the wing.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate clearance while taxiing. A contributing factor was the temporary construction fence next to the taxiway.
