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 the landing flare on the 50-FT wide runway the airplane began to drift left. The pilot overcorrected this condition and the airplane exited the right side of the runway and collided with an embedded rock.
