THE PILOT MADE TWO ATTEMPTS TO LAND ON A DARK NIGHT TO AN UNLIGHTED GRASS STRIP. ON HIS THIRD ATTEMPT HE ALLOWED THE AIRCRAFT TO SINK TOO LOW AND SLOW. A PASSENGER WARNED THE PILOT TO 'GET IT UP' AND THE PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER; HOWEVER, IT STRUCK A FENCE. FOLLOWING THE FENCE STRIKE THE PILOT PULLED OFF POWER AND THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH THE TERRAIN, COMING TO REST 30 YARDS FROM THE FENCE.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A PROPER GLIDEPATH RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH AN OBJECT. FACTORS WERE THE DARK NIGHT AND THE PILOT'S DISREGARD FOR THE LACK OF LIGHTS.
