Incident Details
The pilot reported using runway 08 for departure from the departure airport, leading her to expect landing on runway 07 at the destination airport. Upon approach, she was 'surprised' to observe traffic landing on runway 25. She called on the advisory frequency to determine the active runway. A pilot who had just landed advised that he had used runway 25 and noted a crosswind.
During the landing on runway 25, the pilot determined that her speed was excessive. She evaluated that inadequate runway remained to successfully abort the landing. She elected to steer the airplane onto the infield sod, where it collided with a fence.
Pilot Background
The pilot was issued a private pilot certificate three weeks prior to the accident. She reported a total of 104 hours of flight experience, of which 3.7 hours were in the accident make and model.
