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
Plt had executed successful crosswind landing and was decelerating on roll-out when a gust of wind caused the acft to swerve into the wind. Directional control could not be regained with rudder so plt elected to attempt go-around. Acft became airborne in ground effect, stalled, and the left wing dropped, striking an airport fence.
