Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control.
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 bounced several times and drifted off the runway while landing in a high, gusting crosswind. The pilot aborted the landing. As the airplane lifted off, it rolled into a turn downwind, losing altitude until collision with the ground.
