Go-Around Failure at Remote Site Results in Nose-Over (N2945M)

Incident Overview and Site Conditions A commercial certificated pilot was conducting a personal flight under CFR Part 91 when attempting to land at a remote site. The intended landing area measured approximately 600 feet in length and 70 feet in width, featuring slightly rising grass-covered terrain. Snow was present along the left side of the landing area. The pilot reported that wind conditions were calm during the initial approach. However, as the aircraft flared for touchdown, a quartering tailwind developed, causing a slight bounce. The pilot subsequently added full engine power to abort the landing. Despite this action, the airplane settled to the ground again, collided with the snow-covered area on the left side, and nosed over. The incident resulted in structural damage to the left wing, both wing lift struts, and the rudder.
