THE SPEED ON FINAL WAS 85 TO 90 KNOTS. OVER THE LANDING THRESHOLD AT 50 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND, THE PILOT REDUCED THE POWER TO IDLE. THE AIRPLANE FLOATED AND THE TOUCHDOWN WAS 900 TO 1,000 FEET DOWN THE RUNWAY AND DURING BRAKING THE AIRPLANE DID NOT SEEM TO SLOW. THE PILOT GOT OFF THE BRAKES, RETRACTED THE FLAPS, AND STARTED TO ADD POWER BUT, DUE TO TREES AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY HE CHANGED HIS MIND. THE PILOT APPLIED HARD BRAKING AND LOCKED THE BRAKES. THE AIRPLANE GROUNDLOOPED, SLID TO THE RIGHT, AND HIT A FENCE. THE OPERATOR REPORTED THAT THE BRAKES WERE WITHIN THE REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS.
