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 flew to sky park airport to have radio work done on his aircraft. During arrival, he had no contact with UNICOM. He made a low pass over the airport, noted that the wind was light and elected to land on runway 19. As he was touching down, he observed a twin engine aircraft (unknown make & model) taxi onto the runway. The pilot stated that he could not go around, so he made an evasive maneuver to the right. Subsequently, the aircraft went of the side off the runway and nosed over.
