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 reported that the home-built acft experienced a loss of aileron control during lndg. He continued the lndg, using the rudder and throttle to control the acft. The acft hit a tree-top adjacent to the rwy and crashed into a plowed field next to the arpt. Shortly thereafter, the acft began burning and was totally destroyed. The cause of the reported aileron malfunction could not be determined due to the fire damage.
