THE PILOT STATED THAT HE WAS ON AN UNSUPERVISED LOCAL SOLO FLIGHT WHEN HE DECIDED TO LAND AT A PRIVATE AIRSTRIP. AS HE HAD DRIVEN HIS AUTOMOBILE ON THIS RUNWAY FOUR DAYS PRIOR TO THE ACCIDENT AND HAD FOUND THE LANDING SURFACE CLEAR HE ASSUMED THAT THE RUNWAY WOULD BE CLEAR ON THIS DAY, THE PILOT FURTHER STATED. AS SUCH, ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE DID NOT PAY ATTENTION TO RUNWAY SURFACE HAZARDS DURING THE TRAFFIC PATTERN APPROACH AND SUBSEQUENT LANDING, BUT CONCENTRATED INSTEAD ON POWER LINES AND OTHER RUNWAY ENVIRONMENT. DURING THE LANDING ROLL THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK AN IRRIGATION PIPE THAT WAS PLACED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER ACROSS THE RUNWAY THE NIGHT BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS REVEAL THAT A HIGH DENSITY ALTITUDE CONDITION EXISTED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.
