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 plt attempted to land on a dirt road near two oil rigs. He said he made several low passes to view the road surface. During the landing roll, the wheels of the acft dug into the soft surface. A loss of control occurred which resulted in the acft traveling off the road, striking a gas pipe line and ending up in a ditch.
