Airport; Human Factors
My student pilot was taxing on their solo and while going to refuel the aircraft they hit the wing on a fence near the fuel pumps. I was not there to witness this. My student was unfamiliar with the area they were taxing in. This same situation has happened to other aircraft in the past couple months. In order to keep this from happening in the future I think the airport needs to paint a taxi line so pilots have some guidance on where they are in this tight area.
