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
Reportedly, the aircraft encountered a crosswind during the landing which raised the left wing and caused the right wing to contact the runway. The aircraft then veered left and departed the runway. The right tire blew out and the aircraft came to rest on the propeller.
