Analysis

During landing the aircraft floated. The pilot elected to make a go-around but had used up more than one half the runway. Shortly after applying full power the pilot reduced power to idle for landing on a barley field at the departure end of the runway. During landing roll out the nose gear collapsed on the rough ground and the aircraft then nosed over inverted.
