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
While attempting to land crosswind on a 'one way' runway, the plt said a gust of wind blew him towards some bordering trees, so he made a decision to 'go around'. The plt said he applied full throttle and raised the flaps from the full flap setting, and shortly after, lost control of the acft. The acft stalled, impacted the terrain, and nosed over.
