THE PILOT SAID THAT AS HE FLARED FOR LANDING THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF AIRSPEED WHICH RESULTED IN A LOW ALTITUDE STALL. THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED AND THE PILOT ATTEMPTED TO RECOVER BY ADDING POWER. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO MANTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE. THE PILOT INTENTIONALLY STALLED THE AIRPLANE AS IT BECAME APPARENT THAT HE WAS GOING TO HIT A FENCE NEXT TO THE RUNWAY.
