Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintian directional control and properly flare the airplane during landing.
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 was landing the aircraft when directional control was lost during the flare. The aircraft banked to the left and the pilot applied full right rudder and full throttle. The aircraft struck the ground and several fences before impacting into an open field.
