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
Pilot elected to land on runway 18 because the windsock was indicating wind to be fromthe south. Upon touchdown in the first third of the runway the aircraft skipped slightly. Pilot chose to try to stop rather than attempt a go-around and applied heavy braking. The aircraft overran the runway and flipped over. After exiting the aircraft, the pilot noted that the wind had shifted and was from the north.
