Incident Overview
Following departure, the tower controller informed the pilot that the nose landing gear had extended. The pilot cycled the landing gear system in an attempt to retract it, but the nose gear remained only partially extended. The flight then returned to the departure airport for a landing.
Approach and Collision
While on the final approach, the pilot conducted a go-around. During the second approach, the aircraft's airspeed decreased to a slow condition. The pilot attempted to apply full power, but the action was not executed in time. Consequently, the airplane struck trees located short of the runway, ending the flight.
No other details about the aircraft, occupants, or damage are provided in the source material.
