What happened
During a scheduled domestic passenger flight, a commercial certificated pilot was executing a final approach for landing at a remote airport. The aircraft was flying approximately 300 feet above the ground with 15 degrees of flaps extended and an airspeed of roughly 80 knots.
While on approach, the pilot noted that the airspeed appeared too high and subsequently reduced engine power. This reduction caused the airspeed to become too low. In an attempt to correct the speed, the pilot increased engine power; however, the Cessna (type not specified in source) collided with terrain before reaching the runway threshold.
The aircraft sustained damage to the nose gear, propeller, and left wing. The runway involved in the incident measures 4,422 feet in length and 100 feet in width. There were no fatalities or injuries reported in the provided documentation.
