Probable cause
The pilots failure to maintain directional control.
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
During a landing on an auxiliary strip the pilot allowed the airplane to veer right and enter long grass. The grass became entangled in the right main land gear pulling the airplane further to the right. The airplane struck a rice field levy and nosed over to the inverted position.
