Aircraft involved
Factual narrative
THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE WAS ON FINAL APCH TO LAND ON A WET, SOD RWY WHEN HE NOTICED A FLOCK OF GEESE OVER THE APCH END. HE ADDED POWER TO FLY OVER THE GEESE THEN PROCEEDED TO TOUCHDOWN FURTHER DOWN THE RWY THAN WHAT HE HAD PLANNED. DUE TO HIS SPEED & THE WET RWY, HE WAS UNABLE TO STOP SO HE ABORTED THE LANDING. HOWEVER, AFTER LIFT-OFF, THE LANDING GEAR HIT A FENCE THAT BORDERED THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY. THE ACFT CONTINUED ACROSS A BOARDERING ROAD & NOSED INTO A DITCH.
