## Probable cause

DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS NOT MAINTAINED BY THE PILOT.  A FACTOR RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT IS CROSSWIND.

## 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
  - weather condition - crosswind (contributing factor)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
- Nose over, landing - roll

## Analysis

THE PILOT SAID THAT WHILE PRACTICING TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS IN A LIGHT CROSSWIND, DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST.  THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY, HIT A RUNWAY LIGHT AND NOSED OVER.
