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 PIC had mistakenly attempted a landing at another airport 8 miles west of his intended destination. The PIC realized his mistake and diverted to his final destination. The PIC landed at the correct airport, but veered sharply to the right on landing on rwy 17. There was a right cross-wind at the time of the landing. There was no pre-landing mechanical failure of the aircraft.
