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 plt of the registered, 2 place, ultralight acft reported that the winds were variable & he was intending to land into the wind. However, he further stated that he believed the wind had switched to a tail wind before the landing. After landing, he realized there would be insufficient rwy remaining to stop. So he initiated a go-around. The acft was not equipped with brakes. As he rotated & became airborne, the left wing dropped. The left main landing gear struck a fence post & the ultralight crashed.
