The pilot stated that the accident flight was his second flight in the airplane. During landing on runway 5, the airplane "touched down and then ballooned up." The pilot applied full power to execute a go-around, but the airplane "sank" and contacted the ground. The airplane's nose landing gear collapsed, and the engine firewall sustained substantial damage. A Federal Aviation Administration inspector, who examined the airplane after the accident, reported no evidence of any preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures. The reported weather at the accident airport, about the time of the accident, included winds from 070 degrees at 9 knots.
