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 ag pilot was landing the airplane too fast and when he couldn't stop on the wet grass, he attempted a go-around. By the time the engine accelerated, there was not enough airspeed or runway and the airplane went through a fence and stopped against a telephone post.
