| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that he announced his position on the common traffic advisory frequency while inbound to land on his destination runway. Just prior to touchdown, the pilot observed an airplane landing directly in his path from the opposite end of the runway. To avoid a collision, the pilot added power and attempted to climb to the left, but impacted a berm, nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing.
The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during an aborted approach, which resulted in a collision with terrain.
