Accident
The pilot attempted to land his lightly loaded aircraft uphill on his 425 metre private airstrip with a slight tail wind. Threshold airspeed was slightly fast. The aircraft touched down long. The pilot soon realised that he could not stop the aircraft before the end fence. When he decided to go-around and applied power, the aircraft was too slow to become airborne before the fence. He then closed the throttle and the aircraft ran through the fence.
