## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - wrong runway - selected, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water collision with object, landing - roll
  - object - fence (contributing factor)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - ditch

## Analysis

THE PLT STATED THAT HE OVERFLEW THE ARPT TO OBSERVE THE WIND DIRECTION AS INDICATED BY THE WIND SOCK. UPON LANDING ON RWY 23, HE LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT DUE TO A LEFT QUARTERING TAILWIND. THE ACFT THEN WENT THROUGH A CHAIN LINK FENCE & CAME TO REST IN A RETENTION POND.
