Read the full NTSB narrative

The pilot stated that he and a pilot-rated passenger had planned to practice touch-and-go takeoffs and landings on runway 6, but the other airplanes in the traffic pattern were using runway 24. He said this was his first landing, and he was set up to land with a 3-4 knot left, quartering tailwind. He said the touchdown was smooth; however, shortly thereafter the airplane veered to the right and exited the runway. He said that his efforts to regain directional control by adding power were unsuccessful, and the airplane impacted an airport perimeter fence. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and front fuselage. The pilot stated that there were no anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
