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
On rollout, while the plt was attempting to correct a drift to the right, the acft suddenly veered to the left and the nose gear collapsed. During the resulting slide, the aircraft began burning and was destroyed. The plt reported that the magnesium hub of the nose wheel began burning and could not be extinguished by using portable dry chemical and CO2 extinguishers. Later, after a fire dept truck arrived, the fire was extinguished.
