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
A witness stated that the he observed the acft in a normal approach for landing but that it appeared slow. The witness observed the left wing drop just before the acft was to touchdown to the rwy. Tire scuff marks were seen by the witness on the rwy near where the acft had flipped inverted. The PIC stated he may have inadvertantly applied only one brake at touchdown and lost directional control. The acft was observed veering to the right on the rwy rolling no more than 150 to 200 feet before flipping inverted. The PIC stated that there was no mechanical pblm and wx was not a factor.
