Incident Details
According to the airplane owner, the solo student pilot reported that the airplane bounced upon touchdown during a landing attempt. The pilot then executed a go-around. However, the pilot determined that the climb out rate was insufficient to clear a tree line, and the airspeed and altitude were too low to allow a safe course adjustment to avoid the trees. Subsequently, the airplane touched down on a field with plowed soft soil. Upon touchdown, the nose wheel collapsed, and the airplane nosed over.
Aircraft Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the airplane. Specifically, the right wing, vertical stabilizer, and rudder were damaged. The owner did not report any preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
Pilot Report
The owner reported that the solo student pilot provided the account of the events. The pilot described the initial bounce, the decision to go around, and the subsequent insufficient climb performance relative to the tree line. The pilot also noted the soft soil conditions at the second touchdown point.
