## Sequence of events

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

- Loss of control - in flight, landing - flare/touchdown
  - flare - misjudged, pilot in command (cause)
- Hard landing, landing - flare/touchdown
  - raising of slats - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - go-around - improper, pilot in command (cause)
