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 pilot stated that while on short final a gust of wind raised the right wing of the aircraft. Upon making a correction some airspeed was lost and the nose was lowered. During landing the nose gear collapsed and the aircraft turned over.
