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 aircraft was one of a flight of four, making demonstration flybys at the airport. The pilot stated that he was slow flying, about 80 to 85 ft AGL, when the aircraft started to sink. At that time, he was about 1000 to 1500 ft behind, to the right, and 20 ft below a Cessna 175. The pilot applied full power to stop the sink, but the plane still touched down. It began to fly again,but would not gain altitude. With the airport behind and the airspeed slow, he elected to land in a clear area ahead. However, the aircraft hit a wire fence and nosed over. The temperature and field elevation were 91 degrees and 1045 ft.
