Event Details
According to the operator, the airplane was on short final approach when a vehicle entered the runway in the area where the pilot intended to land. The pilot responded by adding power and climbing to an altitude sufficient to clear the obstacle. After the vehicle was no longer a factor, the pilot reconfigured the airplane and initiated a second approach, aiming to land beyond the intended runway.
The airplane touched down in a rocky area and an adjoining ditch at the end of the runway, resulting in the airplane nosing over. The operator reported that a full go-around was not possible due to the terrain surrounding the airstrip.
Runway Conditions
At the time of the accident, the first half of the 2,500-foot private runway was closed due to construction. The remaining section of the runway was open for commercial operators, according to the operator.
