Analysis

The pilot reported he was not comfortable with his altitude and airspeed while landing on runway 9, so he elected to perform a go-around. When he added power for the go-around, the airplane rolled to the left. The pilot attempted to recover from the roll, but the airplane contacted an eight foot tall airport perimeter fence and a road on the north side of the runway. The airplane came to rest inverted in a field adjacent to the road. The fuselage and wings of the airplane sustained substantial damage. The pilot reported the local wind was from 210 degrees at 5 knots. Precision approach indicator lights (PAPI) were installed and operating on runway 9 at the time of the accident. The fence that was contacted by the airplane was measured to be 214 feet from the edge of the runway.
