Primary finding

Probable cause

The pilot’s failure to attain a proper touchdown point which resulted in a runway overrun and subsequent impact with a fence.

Investigator assessment

Analysis narrative

The pilot reported that he was attempting a second landing, after going around due to “heavy turbulence” on his first approach. He reported that he experienced a tailwind and the airplane floated before landing “longer than usual.” He applied the brakes but was unable to stop on the runway resulting in a runway overrun. After departing the runway, the airplane impacted a fence resulting in substantial damage to the left wing and engine mount. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
