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
During a landing, the acft encountered turbulence, so the plt initiated a go-around. However, the acft would not climb, even with full power. The flt path was toward power lines & a road, so the plt elected to land in a grass area. During the landing, the acft struck a fence & nosed over. The plt of N44WR & another plt reported that the wind velocity & direction were changing rapidly due to thunderstorm activity near the arpt.
