What happened
The commercial pilot was operating a recently refurbished aerial application aircraft destined for a private airstrip with a runway length of only 1400 feet. Witnesses reported that the aircraft touched down significantly past the threshold, approximately halfway along the wet, grass surface. After attempting to stop on the slippery runway, the pilot initiated a go-around.
During this critical phase of flight, the aircraft's main landing gear collided with a fence located near the runway environment. The impact caused the aircraft to lose control and flip inverted.
The investigation
Investigation details regarding mechanical examination or specific forensic findings are not provided in the source material.
Findings
Contributing factors included the short length of the private strip, wet runway conditions, and the decision to attempt a go-around after a long landing. The collision with the fence during the go-around was the immediate cause of the inversion.
