DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE AIRPLANE BEGAN SLIDING TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SNOW AND ICE COVERED RUNWAY. THE PILOT THEN ADDED POWER TO MAKE A GO AROUND. AFTER REACHING ABOUT 15 FEET AGL, THE AIRPLANE SETTLED AND LANDED HARD. THE NOSE AND LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE LEFT WING HIT THE GROUND. NOTE: FOR DATA ENTRY PURPOSES ONLY BLOCK 74 IN THE NTSB FACTUAL REPORT FORM 6120.4 REFLECTS THAT THE PILOT IS AIRLINE TRANSPORT CERTIFICATED. THE PILOT'S ACTUAL CERTIFICATION IS COMMERCIAL.
