Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control due to inadequate compensation for wind conditions.
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 commercial pilot said that he was unable to maintain directional control during a landing with a crosswind. Subsequently, the aircraft veered off the runway, collided with a ditch and nosed over.
