Sequence of Events
While on final approach for landing, the pilot noted equipment on the runway and opted to initiate a go-around. After circling, the pilot decided to land in the grassy area adjacent to the runway. During the descent, at an altitude between 20 and 50 feet above ground level, the pilot observed a culvert. In response, the pilot added power and pulled up to execute another go-around.
Stall and Nose-Over
As the pilot added power and pulled up, the airplane stalled and began to lose altitude. The pilot lowered the nose to increase airspeed, but the nose wheel contacted the ground, causing the airplane to nose over. The pilot stated that he was not aware of the NOTAM in effect that reported the runway was closed for resurfacing.
