Analysis

The pilot said that she was uncomfortable with her first approach to land and executed a go-around. According to witnesses, the second approach resulted in a touch down about two thirds down the runway. The pilot was unable to stop on the remaining landing area, and the aircraft swerved off the runway and nosed over.
