## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

DURING APPROACH PILOT WAS TOO HIGH AND TO FAST, WHEN PILOT EXECUTED GO-AROUND ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. PILOT ELECTED TO FORCE AIRCRAFT TO THE RUNWAY AT HIGH SPEED WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF VERTICAL DROP. AIRCRAFT BOUNCED TWICE. ON SECOND CONTACT WITH RUNWAY, THE AIRCRAFT NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. AN INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY CONDITION THAT WOULD CASUE THE ENGINE TO HESTITATE. ON THURSDAY JULY 30, 1998, INSPECTOR ED POTTLE OF THE DUPAGE FSDO CONDUCTED AN INCIDENT INSPECTION AT SANGOR AIRPORT, SANGOR ILLINOIS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS A CESSNA, MODEL 206-P206, SN:504-76055, N2596X. THE AIRCRAFT HAD ATTEMPTED TO GO AROUND AFTER A HIGH AND FAST APPROACH. WHEN THE PILOT TRIED TO APPLY POWER THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE DID NOT QUIT BUT DID NOT RESPOND TO A FULL POWER APPLICATION. THE RESULT WAS A HARD LANDING THAT COLLAPSED THE NOSE GEAR AND DAMAGED THE PROPELLER, NOSE GEAR, BOTTOM ENGINE COWL, AND RIGHT WING TIP. THE ENGINE WAS INSPECTED AND FOUND TO HAVE OIL, FUEL, AND COMPRESSION. THE PROPELLER COULD BE TURNED BY HAND, INDICATING THAT THE ENGINE HAD NOT SEIZED. THE RIGHT FUEL TANK WAS FULL AND THE LEFT TANK WAS HALF FULL. ALL THE FLIGHT CONTROLS RESPONDED    PROPERLY AND THE CONTROL SURFACES MOVED CORRECTLY.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
