Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot was flying a pattern around a field where he intended to land later. During a low pass, he applied power for a go- around but full power was not sufficient to prevent a touchdown. At touchdown, a side load collapsed the landing gear. The pilot is also a mechanic and was unable to determine any engine problems during a post-impact examination. The field elevation was 1649 feet asl and the density altitude was 3700 feet.
