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 student plt had taken the acft without the owner's permission & taxied onto a sod rwy. He rprtd that the acft almost became mired in mud on the sod rwy, so he added full power. The acft accelerated forward rapidly and the student lost control. The acft veered off to the side of the rwy where the nose wheel collapsed after encountering rough and uneven terrain. The acft nosed down momentarily, then a gust of wind blew it over to an inverted position. The wind was reported gusting to 18 knots.
