Accident Overview
A pilot reported that during a landing attempt, the aircraft experienced a wind shear or microburst while executing a go-around, resulting in a hard touchdown and subsequent nose-over on the runway. The incident occurred after the pilot decided to abort the approach due to an unsatisfactory descent path.
Sequence of Events
The pilot stated that upon approaching the airport, they observed the wind sock drooping, indicating light winds. After entering final approach for Runway 1, the pilot noticed a slight wind and crabbed into it. However, the approach appeared unstable, prompting the pilot to initiate a go-around. As the pilot began to raise the flaps, the aircraft was struck by a wind shear or microburst. The impact caused the aircraft to hit the runway hard and bounce. The pilot attempted to regain control but reported having no control. Subsequently, the aircraft nosed over on the runway.
Pilot Narrative
According to the pilot's account: "I noticed the wind sock and it was drooping... I went to final approach (for Runway 1) ... noticed a little wind so I crabbed into it, and I noticed my approach didn't look good so I went to do a go-around. I went to raise the flaps and just then a wind shear or microburst hit us and we hit real hard and bounced... I tried to straighten it out but had no control." The aircraft then nosed over on the runway.
