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
During landing the acft reportedly porpoised two times on the nose gear. The flange on the nose gear tire rim had piecesbroken off of the flange in several places. The landing was also made with full tip tanks. The fuel selector is placarded prohibiting this fuel loading for landing. The overload induced by the full tip tanks resulted in a downward bending of the wing spars & wrinkling of the wing skins.
