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 acft collided with a fence during an attempted go-around after a loss of directional control during the approach. The pilot stated that a crosswind carried the acft to the rt of the runway which necessitated the go-around. He further stated his airspeed was low when the go-around was started and the nose was raised too high causing a stall/mush into a fence to the rt of the runway.
