What happened
While on short final approach to runway 15, the pilot—who also served as a flight instructor—encountered wind shear. This encounter caused the aircraft to develop an excessive sink rate. In response to the loss of altitude, the pilot initiated a go-around procedure; however, the maneuver was aborted when it became apparent that the aircraft would impact the runway.
Following the initial touchdown, the aircraft bounced and drifted toward the left side of the runway. The second point of contact occurred off the left side of the runway surface, at which point the left wing struck a fence post. There were no reported injuries to the pilot.
Findings
The pilot reported local winds originating from the south-southwest at 15 knots, with gusts reaching 25 knots. In contrast, the official weather reporting station located 15 miles south of the accident site recorded winds from 150 degrees at 5 knots. No convective activity was noted in the area at the time of the event.
