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 stated that the wind was from about 135 deg at 10 KTS. He stated he made a mistake and landed on runway 31 instead of 13. Reportedly, his touchdown was too FAR down the runway for a safe landing. He initiated a go-around but the stall warning horn sounded and he determined that he would not be able to fly-out. Therefore, he landed in an OAT field where the plane hit a rut and nosed over. About 20 mi southeast at lacrosse, WI, the wind was from 160 deg at 10 KTS.
