The defining event best describes what happened. - [Landing-aborted after touchdown: Collision during takeoff/land](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/490) (defining event); cases with it: [Maule MXT-7-180A, 1 case](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/490/sequence.md?model=5460187), [All aircraft, 1,309 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/490/sequence.md) ## Analysis The student pilot reported that he landed fast and long, touching down about halfway down the 2,000-foot-long grass runway. The airplane's brakes were ineffective on the dew-covered grass, so the pilot initiated a go-around. The landing gear contacted a three-foot-high wire fence at the end of the runway. The airplane continued to travel about another 40 feet, at which time the right horizontal stabilizer and right main gear struck a fence post before the airplane impacted the ground. The pilot reported there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane prior to the accident. ## Factual narrative On July 5, 2011, at 0800 eastern daylight time, a Maule MXT-7-180A, N800NH, operated by a student pilot, collided with a fence while performing an aborted landing at the Barnhardt Memorial Airport (3OH0), New Carlisle, Ohio. The pilot was not injured and the airplane sustained substantial damage to the horizontal stabilizer and fuselage. The 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight was being operating in visual meteorological conditions without a flight plan. The last departure for the airplane was from the Moraine Airpark (I73), Dayton, Ohio. The pilot reported he landed fast and long, touching down about half way down the 2,000 foot long grass runway. The airplane's brakes were ineffective on the dew covered grass, so the pilot initiated an aborted landing. The landing gear contacted a three foot high wire fence at the end of the runway. The airplane continued to travel about 40 feet and the right horizontal stabilizer and right main gear contacted a fence post. The airplane then impacted the terrain. The pilot reported there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane prior to the accident. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N800NH](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N800NH-2013-01-30), registration cancelled 2013-01-30, S/N 21040C, built 1998 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: MAULE MXT-7-180A - Registry model: [Maule MXT-7-180A](https://openairdocs.org/model/maule-mxt-7-180a) (registry code 5460187) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming O&VO-360 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-o-vo-360-series) (registry code 41514, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 21040C - Airframe hours: 720 - Engines: LYCOMING O-360-C4F 180 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Operator: Howard Dale K - Registered owner: Howard Dale K - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, March 15, 2011 - Departed: I73, Dayton, OH - Destination: Carlisle, OH - Airport: 3OH0, Barnhart Memorial Airport, runway 28, 2,000 × 150 ft, grass/turf ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
