Narrative:The student was undergoing an evaluation, by an FAA designated examiner, for his private pilot certificate. The student stated that while demonstrating a short-field landing, he allowed the aircraft to get 'too shallow.' He added that he 'applied power to correct altitude and thought [he] had it under control, so [he] took power out, and [the] aircraft fell short.' After landing the airplane collided with a fence.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain a proper glidepath during his short-field approach.
