Introduction
A pilot conducting a cross-country flight to an unfamiliar airport experienced a runway excursion during a touch-and-go landing attempt. The airplane sustained substantial damage after exiting the runway and colliding with a fence.
Approach and Go-Around
The pilot reported that as he neared the airport, he obtained information from the airport's automated weather observation system, which indicated calm wind. He selected runway 09 and began an approach to perform a touch-and-go landing. However, during the first approach, the airplane was not in a position to land, and the pilot executed a go-around.
Second Landing Attempt
The pilot stated that the second approach was normal, but the airplane touched down on the runway farther from the intended point of landing than expected. He added power to take off, but the airplane could not become airborne within the remaining runway. The pilot then reduced engine power and applied the brakes, but the airplane continued off the end of the runway and impacted a fence. The accident resulted in substantial damage to the engine firewall and both left and right wings.
Post-Accident Observations
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane. After the accident, the airport windsock indicated a tailwind condition. Recorded weather at the airport around the time of the accident included wind from 310 degrees at 7 knots.
