What happened
The aircraft was on final approach for landing when the pilot elected to maintain a higher-than-normal glide path to clear nearby trees and wires. This decision resulted in the aircraft touching down well beyond the normal touchdown zone. After applying brakes, the pilot initiated a go-around procedure; however, the aircraft failed to achieve a positive climb rate. The plane subsequently descended and impacted a small tree, followed by a fence, sustaining significant damage.
Findings
The pilot reported that the runway was too short for the maneuver, indicating fuel exhaustion or performance limitations were not the primary factors, but rather spatial constraints. The accident occurred during the landing phase of flight at an airport where available runway length was insufficient to accommodate the long touchdown caused by obstacle avoidance.
Probable cause
The pilot's decision to remain high on final approach to avoid terrain and wires, which resulted in a long landing and subsequent inability to climb over obstacles due to insufficient runway remaining.
