## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, landing - flare/touchdown
  - weather condition - crosswind (contributing factor)
  - touch-and-go - attempted, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - wind information - not obtained, pilot in command (cause)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, go-around (vfr)
- Nose over, landing - roll

## Analysis

UPON LANDING THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DUE TO A CROSSWIND. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND BUT CONTACTED BUSHES AND ROUGH TERRAIN CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO NOSE OVER.
