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 was unable to find the airport at his intended destination. He saw another airport and elected to land. A no-flap approach was made to rwy 24 with a north wind. The aircraft touched down about 500 feet from the departure end and then became airborne again. It touched down again a few feet from the end of the runway, skidded into an embankment and flipped over.
