Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The pilot stated that he lost directional control possibly due to a windshear. Just at touchdown he said he felt the winds were squirrely. Late in a telephone interview he stated that he was 'too complacent at the wrong time-should have positive control all the time.' The acft was damaged on the rt. Wing, rt. Landing gear and the prop.
