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
The pilot stated that he attempted a landing on rwy 27. The wind was reported to be from 090 degrees at 8 KTS. The plt stated that he touched down on the rwy and the acft skipped to the left. He applied power to go-around but determined that the airspeed was too slow, so he attempted to stop using the brakes. The acft continued to skip to the left until the left wing struck a fence post.
