THE PILOT DECIDED TO USE THE TAXIWAY/APRON AREA AS THE RUNWAY DUE TO THE CROSSWIND CONDITION. WHEN THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN ON THE APRON THE PILOT EXPERIENCED NO BRAKING ACTION, HE THEN DECIDED TO ABORT THE LANDING. WIND GUSTS CAUGHT THE WING AND CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO YAW FROM THE INTENDED DEPARTURE PATH. THE AIRCRAFT GOT AIRBORNE SLOW, THE PILOT ELECTED TO LOWER THE NOSE TO GAIN AIRSPEED FOR HIS DEPARTURE AT WHICH POINT HE ENCOUNTERED A SNOW BERM PILED ALONG SIDE THE RUNWAY. THE MAIN GEAR STRUCK THE SNOW BERM PITCHING THE AIRCRAFT ONTO ITS NOSE. THE IMPACT WITH THE GROUND BROKE THE NOSE FORK OFF AND THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE SNOW AT FULL POWER.

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.
