NTSB narrative
The airplane touched down about 200 feet from the approach end of the 900-foot-long landing strip and bounced. The pilot maneuvered the airplane back down on the ruwnay, but then decided to perform a go-around. He applied full engine power but collided with a fence during the initial climb. The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane.
Probable cause
The pilot's delayed decision to perform a go-around, which resulted in the airplane colliding with a fence during the initial climb.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, coordinates. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
