Narrative:
Having been parked next to the FBO's front doors at atl hartsfield airport, I started my taxi to the active runway. There was an light transport jet parked to my right. I pulled my plane forward and made a 90 degree right turn to exit the facility. That put my engines facing the doors of the FBO. I added power to taxi and the thrust blew the front doors off the building. Ground personnel at the FBO should not park aircraft so close to their buildings.
