Probable cause
The pilot's improper aircraft handling.
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 daylight landing to an improved runway, the private pilot executed a right turn at high speed resulting in the airplane sliding right and a loss of control. The airplane struck three metal pipes and a chain link fence. The pilot executed the right turn when she became aware that she would not be able to stop on the remaining runway. The pilot reported a loss of braking effectiveness; however, inspection of the brakes revealed no malfunction.
