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.

After a complete engine failure and an emergency landing on the beach, the pilot lost directional control of the aircraft causing the plane to nose over on its back. Examination of the engine revealed a blocked oil screen which caused oil starvation.
