| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector that he made a poor approach, but still elected to continue with the landing. He landed long at a higher-than-normal airspeed and the airplane bounced upon touchdown. The airplane subsequently departed the left side of the runway and struck a fence, which resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed no preimpact mechanical anomalies, and that the braking system performed as designed.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with a fence.
