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 wind at the nearest facility was reported to be from 350 degrees at 12 KTS. The pilot reported the wind sock at the airport was showing wind from 310-320 degrees at 10 KTS or less and gusting. He made two go-arounds because of gusty winds and difficulty in maintaining runway alignment. 3 pt landing was made and the acft rolled 100 feet after touchdown at 50 mph. Then a strong gust from the right side hit and the pilot stated he used full rt aileron down with left rudder. Acft could not be kept on runway using this technique and using brakes. The acft left the runway at 35-40 mph and rolled 40 feet to a small decline and nosed over.
