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 pilot was on a cross-country flight and began an approach to a private airstrip. He reported that the weather conditions were good with light turbulence. About 100 ft from the threshold, the aircraft began to settle and the pilot added power. However, the plane touched down in brush and long grass, then nosed over.
