Accident Details
Prior to landing, the private pilot performed several low approaches to runway 04. The available length of runway 04 was limited to 1,600 feet due to construction at the intersection with runway 13-31. The airplane touched down approximately 1,000 feet beyond the threshold and continued through the runway intersection.
The runway surface near the construction area was covered with loose gravel. According to the pilot, this resulted in poor braking action. The airplane subsequently struck an 8- to 12-inch-high berm. The impact caused the nose gear to separate, and the airplane nosed over.
The investigation noted the presence of the construction-related gravel and the berm, but did not assign a probable cause.
