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
While landing, the pilot touched down fast after crossing over power lines near approach end of the runway. He used the brakes to slow down, but was unaware that the wheels were skidding on the grass until the plane came to a bare patch of ground. According to the pilot, the wheels dug in at that point and the plane flipped over.
