## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - parking brakes - inadvertent use, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - high vegetation (contributing factor)
- Nose over, landing - roll

## Analysis

THE PILOT FAILED TO RELEASE THE PARKING BRAKES BEFORE LANDING AFTER SETTING THE BRAKES WHILE ENROUTE. THE ACFT SWERVED OFF THE RUNWAY AND NOSED OVER.
