Probable cause
The pilot's inadequare visual lookout to see and avoid the 8 foot high pole adjacent to the landing strip.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
While on final approach the pilot elected to terminate the approach and go-around. During the go around attempt, the lower left wing assembly collided with a 4 inch metal pole which extended 8 feet above the ground. No mechanical problems were reported by the pilot.
