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 said he had glided down to 500 feet AGL with the throttle reduced to idle trying to locate a landing strip. He said he applied power and the engine responded too late to avoid hitting a levee in the rice field and he flipped to the inverted position.
