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
After turning final approach the pilot realized he was high so he lowered full flaps. Shortly thereafter he saw that the indicated airspeed was low and made an aircraft attitude adjustment. After he corrected for the low air speed he failed to rotate to a landing attitude and the nose gear contacted the runway first. He retracted the flaps and applied full power but the aircraft stalled and did not become airborne. The aircraft slid about 100 feet down the runway and off on the right side. After about five feet on the grass the nose strut dug in and the aircraft nosed over.
