Probable cause
A loss of directional control and remedial action not performed by the pilot. Factors related to this accident were a swerve encountered by the pilot and the pilot's lack of overall experience.
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
Prior to landing the student pilot stated he had applied a lefthand crosswind correction to the airplane. He stated his airplane touched down on all three wheels. According to the pilot, a gust of wind yawed the airplane to the left during the transition to a takeoff roll. The airplane departed the left edge of the runway, crossing the grass area next to the runway and a taxiway which was perpendicular to the landing runway. Shortly after crossing the taxiway the airplane nosed over and became inverted.
