Incident Overview
An instructional flight ended in a collision with a fence after the flight instructor took over the controls from the student pilot during the final approach for landing. The instructor initiated a go-around by applying full power and retracting the flaps, but the airplane was unable to climb enough to clear nearby trees. Consequently, the instructor aborted the go-around attempt, and the airplane touched down near the end of the runway. It then traveled beyond the runway surface and into a fence.
Investigation Findings
Investigators found no evidence of a mechanical failure or malfunction in the airplane. The exact cause of the insufficient climb performance was not specified in available records.
