What happened
The pilot reported that he landed the aircraft at an above-normal speed. Immediately upon touchdown, he lost control of the aircraft. The plane then veered off the runway and onto the adjacent wet grass. Due to the slippery conditions, the aircraft began sliding forward until it collided with a fence located 100 feet from the end of the runway. A fence post struck the right wing, causing it to dislodge from the fuselage.
The investigation
The investigation focused on the mechanics of the landing and the subsequent impact. The primary finding was that the excessive speed at touchdown led to a loss of directional control. The wet grass surface contributed to the slide, resulting in the structural failure of the right wing upon contact with the fence post.
Findings
Contributing factors included the pilot's decision to land at an excessive speed and the slippery runway conditions. The loss of control during the critical phase of landing was the direct cause of the accident sequence. The collision with the fence resulted in significant damage to the right wing structure.
