Approach and Touchdown
According to the pilot's report, during the approach to land, the airplane was high and subsequently touched down long on the runway. Recognizing the situation, the pilot initiated a go-around to abort the landing.
Go-Around and Flap Retraction
As the airplane began to climb, it did not seem to accelerate or climb fast enough. In response, the pilot retracted the flaps. Immediately following the flap retraction, the airplane began to settle back toward the runway.
Accident Sequence
The airplane touched down hard, causing the nose gear to collapse. The aircraft then angled off the runway, sliding into brush and trees. The collision resulted in substantial damage to the airframe.
Investigation
Post-accident examination revealed no pre-existing mechanical issues with the airplane. No further causal factors were identified in the available information.
