Probable cause
The loss of control during the landing roll. A factor was the partial loss of engine power.
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 local area flight the engine began to run rough, so the pilot elected to execute a precautionary to a farm road. During the landing roll the airplane veered off the road and entered a freshly plowed field. The nose gear sank into the soft earth and the airplane nosed over to the inverted position.
