Confidence Rating: Accident investigation report completed and information captured
Narrative:
The airplane collided with a perimeter fence during an aborted landing. The air traffic controller requested that the pilot conduct "S" turns to provide spacing for a departing airplane. The pilot complied with the request but ended up landing long on the 2,443-foot runway. He elected to abort the landing when he realized there was not enough remaining runway to stop; however, the airplane did not accelerate adequately for takeoff and the airplane overran the runway. The pilot reported there were no anomalies with the airplane.

Probable Cause: the pilot's misjudged altitude and distance, which resulted in an overrun, and his failure to execute a timely go-around during the approach.
