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 diverting into Galesburg due to bad weather at his original destination. Following an ILS approach at Galesburg he spotted the runway at '200 ft plus' off to his right. He then 'side-stepped' to the right but touched down in a crabbed angle. He then attempted to go around but as he was applying power the aircraft was settling to the runway on collapsed landing gear.
