Accident Overview
The accident airplane collided with a dirt bank and nosed over during an attempted go-around. According to the pilot, radio problems emerged after takeoff, prompting him to enter a circular holding pattern over a lake to diagnose the issue.
Pilot's Account
While circling, the pilot became "extremely nauseous" and decided to return to the airport. During the landing flare, a gust of wind turned the airplane sideways just above the runway. As the pilot increased power for the go-around, the airplane drifted left, away from the runway, and collided with a dirt bank, resulting in the nose-over.
Sequence of Events
The pilot's narrative describes the following: after takeoff, radio problems occurred. A circular holding pattern over a lake was initiated to assess the radio issue. Nausea developed during circling, leading to a decision to return. During the landing attempt, a gust of wind caused a sideways orientation in the flare. Power was added for a go-around, but the airplane drifted left and struck a dirt bank, causing it to nose over.
