Analysis

The student pilot landed her aircraft on the last half of the runway. She added power and retracted the flaps when she decided to abort the landing and go around. She subsequently decided to abort the go around and pulled off the power. There was insufficient runway remaining to stop. The aircraft departed the end of the runway, striking a fence and trees.
