Probable cause
The pilot in command's failure to attain a proper touchdown point.
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 pilot's landing approach was too slow, resulting in a stall. The aircraft settled in a small grain field just short of the runway before nosing over.
