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 acft groundlooped to the right and collided with a fence during landing. The plt feels this accident was caused by the failure of the landing gear attach bolts on the right main landing gear. The FAA inspected the acft and found that the attach bolts were sheared. There was about a weeks delay between accident and inspection because the occurrence was initially reported as an incident.
