Probable cause

The pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point and delayed go-around.

NTSB narrative

Prior to arriving in the airport traffic pattern, the pilot heard that other aircraft were landing on runway 09, a 4,000-foot-long by 75-foot-wide runway, and the winds were light and variable. The pilot stated, "I landed long on runway 09." He then attempted to go-around; however, the airplane's nose wheel struck the top of the airport perimeter fence. The airplane flipped over and came to rest inverted. The pilot reported no anomalies with the airplane. According to the pilot, the accident could have been prevented if he had initiated a go-around after the airplane had over-flown the first 1/3 of the runway and had not touched down.
