Incident Details
A pilot reported that while on final approach to a 2,502-foot-long asphalt runway, he noticed another airplane back-taxiing on the runway and subsequently depart. He continued the approach, performed a normal full flaps landing, and touched down approximately midfield. During the rollout, he determined there was insufficient runway remaining to stop and elected to attempt a go-around.
The airplane then struck the airport perimeter fence and a roadway guard rail before impacting terrain. The collision resulted in substantial damage to the wings and fuselage.
Pilot Commentary
The pilot reported no pre-accident malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. He further stated that the accident might have been prevented by aborting the landing earlier.
