Accident Details
During landing on Runway 23, the airplane overran the runway and nosed over. The pilot reported that after initially landing long on the runway, he attempted to abort the landing and initiated a climb. However, realizing the airplane would not clear obstacles beyond the runway end, he aborted the takeoff and landed again. The airplane touched down in a wheat field at the end of the runway, where the nosewheel dug into soft terrain, causing the aircraft to nose over.
Pilot Actions
The pilot's initial landing was long, leading him to abort the landing and attempt a go-around. During the climb, he determined that the airplane could not clear obstacles located past the runway end. He then aborted the takeoff and performed a second landing, which occurred in the wheat field.
Weather Conditions
A nearby weather observation station reported winds from 040 degrees at 12 knots shortly before the accident. No other environmental conditions were noted.
