During the aborted landing, the airplane departed the runway surface to the right and nosed over in dirt about 145 ft from the runway surface.
The right wing sustained substantial damage.
The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The Federal Aviation Administration Aviation Safety Inspector who examined the airplane postaccident reported that he found no anomalies with the brake system or wheels.

A Caldwell man walked away unscathed Tuesday morning after his plane ran off the runway at the Payette Municipal Airport.
James Halcomb was approaching the airport runway attempting to perform a flared controlled touchdown, according to the man’s report to the Payette Police Department, when the plane turned, the wing dropped, and the plane ran off the runway, where it subsequently flipped.
According to Payette Police Chief Mark Clark, Halcomb sustained no injuries, while the plane took on “substantial” damage, Clark said Tuesday, based upon observations made by police officers when they arrived at 9:15 a.m.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the official cause of the crash.
