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
The airplane owner took a friend for a first flight in a small airplane. After an excursion in the local area, the pilot returned to home field. The airport manager saw the airplane pass low over the runway and climb out steeply. The airplane was found one mile from the airport in a position corresponding to a downwind leg for the pattern. The airplane struck the ground heading opposite the downwind leg, 45 degrees nose down with left rotation. No material failure/mechanical malfunction was found.
