THE ACFT WENT OFF THE RUNWAY, COLLAPSED THE NOSE GEAR AND NOSED OVER DURING LANDING. THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO EXTEND THE FLAPS AND TRIED TO LAND ON A 3800 FOOT RUNWAY. THERE WAS A 7003 FOOT RUNWAY 8 NM WEST OF THE LANDING SITE. THE PILOT ALSO HAD A TAILWIND OF 11 KTS DURING LANDING. HE HAD MADE ONE APPROACH AND PERFORMED A GO-AROUND. ON THE 2ND APPROACH HEWAS UNABLE TO EXTEND THE FLAPS SO HE AGAIN WENT AROUND. HE LANDED ON THE 3RD ATTEMPT BUT WAS TOO FAST AND RAN OFF THE RUNWAY INTO HIGH GRASS TO SLOW THE ACFT. THE ACFT WENT INTO A SOFT PLOWED FIELD, BROKE THE NOSE GEAR AND NOSED OVER. A MICRO-LIMIT-SWITCH HAD MALFUNCTIONED TO PREVENT THE FLAPS FROM OPERATING.
