THE LOW TIME PRIVATE PLT AND HIS NON-PILOT WIFE WERE PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS. THE PLT USED THE RIGHT SEAT AND HIS WIFE USED THE LEFT SEAT. WHILE ON FINAL APCH, THE PLT RECOGNIZED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS TOO HIGH, ADDED FULL FLAPS AND CUT THE POWER. THE AIRPLANE ENTERED A HIGH SINK RATE. BY THE TIME THE PILOT RECOGNIZED IT, THE PLANE WAS TOO LOW. FULL POWER WAS ADDED TOO LATE TO ARREST THE DESCENT. THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A FENCE AND IMPACTED THE GROUND SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS 8,000 FEET.
