Probable cause
The student pilot's failure to execute a go around when he realized he was going to land long.
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 student pilot stated that when he turned onto final he was high and fast. He subsequently touched down fast on the 2,300 foot sod strip at about mid-field and was unable to stop the airplane before it ran off the end and collided with a barbed wire fence.
