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 flight, the pilot was practicing a simulated engine out procedure toward an open field on rolling terrain. He stated that he misjudged the rising terrain and got too low and slow to initiate a go-around. Subsequently, he was forced to land. During the roll out, the aircraft nosed over.
