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
This was the pilot's first operation on the 1320 ft strip. After touchdown, he encountered poor braking action and attempted to go around. When he realized he had insufficient runway remaining, he aborted the go-around. Subsequently, the aircraft collided with 2 fences. The pilot stated that he pulled up to clear the first fence, but the right wheel hit the fence. After touching down again, the aircraft slid into the second fence. The airport owner reported that the sun had melted the frozen surface, making it slick.
