Analysis
The pilot landed on runway 17 which had a slight downgrade. The 2800 ft, asphalt runway was wet from a shower that had just passed over and there was no effective head wind. Also, the density altitude was about 2800 ft. during the landing, the aircraft floated about 1/4 of the way down the runway before touching down. The pilot was unable to stop on the remaining runway and the aircraft continued into a fence and was damaged. The pilot reported that there were dips and pot holes in the runway.
