Incident Overview
A pilot was conducting a flight to the Nebesna Glacier area for hunting purposes. During the approach to a chosen landing site, the first approach was too long, prompting a go-around. The second approach also extended beyond the intended touchdown point; the aircraft touched down and its wheels caught low shrubs, which slowed the aircraft.
Go-Around and Landing
The pilot reported adding full power for another go-around. After struggling into the air with full flaps deployed, the pilot turned toward lower terrain, which was downwind. The aircraft then encountered a downdraft and was pushed into a dry river bed. The pilot stated that a controlled landing was made approximately half a mile from the intended landing area, but the terrain was too rough, causing the landing gear to break off.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage to the landing gear. No further details about the aircraft, occupants, or other damage were provided in the source.
