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 dual student pilot, while on his second flight, suddenly applied full right rudder during flare/touchdown and froze on the controls while in this position. The aircraft veered off the right side of the runway into deep and soft mud before the CFI could regain control. Just before rolling to a stop the nose gear dropped off into a washed out area and the aircraft flipped inverted.
