What happened
During an approach to runway 06, the pilot reported that the aircraft was high and fast. The pilot did not perform a flare, resulting in the aircraft touching down nose gear first and bouncing. Following this initial contact, the pilot applied power to attempt a go-around but subsequently aborted the maneuver.
Upon the second touchdown, the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway. It traveled through 380 feet of dirt before coming to rest in a grassy area. At the time of the accident, weather conditions consisted of clear skies with winds from 060 degrees at 5 knots.
The investigation
The inspection of the aircraft revealed that both main landing gear had collapsed to the right, and the nose landing gear was bent to the right. Damage to the left wing included wrinkles in the upper surface of the skin, as well as damage to the aileron and flap. Additionally, all propeller blades sustained damage to the tips.
