Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to go-around in a timely manner which resulted in a collision with a fence.

NTSB narrative

The pilot stated that during a landing attempt on a 2,400-ft-long runway, the airplane was not slowing enough, and he decided to perform a go around maneuver. During the go-around attempt, the airplane did not gain sufficient altitude to clear a fence at the end of the runway. Subsequently, the airplane impacted the fence and came to rest beyond the runway. The fuselage and wings were substantially damaged. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
