| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot departed from a local airport for a 15 minute flight to a sod strip on his farm. After touchdown, the pilot decided he was traveling 'too fast' to complete a safe landing and applied power to clear a fence. The airplane struck the fence, and separated the nose wheel after landing in a field beyond the departure end of the strip. The airplane then nosed over and came to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: the pilot's misjudgment of distance and speed, and his delay in aborting the landing. Factors relating to the accident were: the pilot's failure to attain a proper touchdown point for landing, and proximity of the fence to the runway.
