## Analysis

THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH A FENCE DURING ROLL-OUT AFTER THE PILOT LANDED ON A 2000 FT FARM FIELD. POWERLINES WERE LOCATED AT EACH END OF THE FIELD AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT DOWNHILL SLOPE. THE PILOT REPORTED THAT HE TOUCHED DOWN AT ABOUT MIDFIELD WHILE LANDING IN CALM WIND CONDITIONS. HE STATED THAT BRAKING ACTION WAS VERY POOR ON THE GRASS AND HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE FENCE. THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS ABOUT 5700 FT.
