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 and his passenger were on a short flight to check the operation of a VOR receiver. While they were on the landing roll, a gust of wind turned the nose of the airplane to the left and the airplane ran off the runway and the right gear hit a runway light.
