Approach and Landing Attempt
The pilot was conducting an approach to land on runway 28. The reported wind was from 310 degrees at 25 knots, gusting to 40 knots. As the aircraft touched down, a strong gust was encountered.
Go-Around and Power Loss
Struggling to maintain control in the strong wind, the pilot decided to execute a go-around. During the go-around, the pilot advanced the throttle abruptly. In the pilot's belief, this action was too abrupt and resulted in a loss of engine power.
Return to Landing and Runway Excursion
After the loss of engine power, the pilot transitioned back to a landing. However, the aircraft was not kept on the runway and departed the side of the runway.
Post-Excursion Impact
After leaving the runway, the aircraft struck a ditch. The impact caused the aircraft to nose over.
