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 plt made a low pass over the drag strip to check the wind. He climbed, made a 180 deg turn and attempted a normal landing. On roll out a wind gust was encountered which tipped the acft up on the right wheel. It veered off the hard surface into a guard rail and a chain link fence. The CFI stated that it happened so fast that he was unable to get his hands on the controls. The purpose of the flt was to give a bfr to the pilot.
