| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot had never been to the airport he intended to land at and so he requested and received directions from air traffic control. The pilot mistook a road for the runway and landed the airplane on the road. During the landing roll, the airplane hit a rise in the road, veered left and struck 12 fence posts, damaging both wings and the right horizontal stabilizer, before coming to rest upright beside the road.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing roll.
