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 a normal landing the pilot retracted the flaps and opened the throttle. As the aircraft gained speed it started drifting off the runway. The pilot attempted to correct with rudder but the aircraft veered off the runway. Power was reduced before the nose wheel dug into the soft mud and the aircraft flipped over.
