Read the full NTSB narrative
WHEN THE PLT REALIZED HE WAS LOW DURING FINAL APCH TO A LANDING, HE ERRONEOUSLY DECIDED NOT TO USE FULL FLAPS INSTEAD OF ADDING POWER, VREF WAS HIGH AND THE LANDING WAS 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN THE 2400 FT RWY. BELIEVING HE HAD SUFFICIENT ROOM TO TAKEOFF AGAIN, FULL POWER WAS ADDED, BUT THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF POWER LINES OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RWY INFLUENCED THE PLT TO ABORT THE GO AROUND. THE ACFT WENT OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED.
