Incident Summary
A student pilot conducting a touch-and-go landing maneuver executed an evasive turn on final approach to avoid a collision with a flock of geese. The pilot then turned left toward a row of hangars and, determining that the airplane would not clear the structures, reduced engine power and executed a landing.
Sequence of Events
During the landing rollout, the nose landing gear contacted a concrete block located in a burrow pit adjacent to the taxiway. The impact caused the airplane to nose over.
The pilot was conducting the touch-and-go landing at the time of the incident. The evasive maneuver and subsequent landing occurred after the pilot observed the geese on final approach. The decision to land short of the hangars was made after the left turn, when the pilot assessed that the airplane could not clear the hangars.
Damage
The airplane sustained damage as a result of nosing over after the nose landing gear struck the concrete block. Specific damage items are not detailed in the source.
