Incident Overview
The accident occurred during a touch-and-go landing when the airplane's engine began losing power during the initial climb phase. The pilot responded by turning the airplane downwind and returning to the airport for landing.
Environmental Conditions
At the time of the incident, wind conditions were reported as southwest at 8 to 10 knots.
Landing Sequence
Upon touchdown, the airplane landed hard and bounced. In an effort to stop the aircraft before striking a building, the pilot stated, "...I then pushed the controls forward to nose the aircraft into the ground so as to stop before hitting a building." The subsequent impact caused the nose gear to collapse, and the airplane nosed over.
Outcome
The nose gear collapsed, and the airplane flipped onto its nose. No further details are specified in the source.
