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
During a dual instructional flight for the purpose of practicing takeoffs and landings with a pre-solo student, the instructor pilot failed to maintain adequate aircraft control and visual lookout, and the aircraft departed the right side of the runway, struck a fence and came to a stop in a cornfield. The pilot reported a 10 knot left crosswind and that restricted visibility due to sunglare was a factor.
