What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Student pilot with 100 hrs, all endorsements proper with current medical, in his personal aircraft. Admittedly came in high and fast on approach to land on a dew covered sod runway (2000' long), light surface winds, but light tailwinds from the east above 100FT AGL. Pilot was hesitant to go around because he claims he had not been trained in the go-around procedure. He land mid-field, had little or no braking, began to swerve a little, decided to take off again. His right main gear hit a fence, the aircraft continued on, hit the fence again (the fence made a 90 degree turn) and a fence post, which took the the main gear and right horizontal stabilizer off the aircraft, which then impacted the ground in a level attitude with substantial damage to the aircraft, but no injuries to the pilot
