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
While en route, the pilot elected to land at an uncontrolled airport. During the landing roll, he observed a glider landing in the opposite direction. He departed the runway to the right to avoid a collision and nosed over when he applied brakes.
