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
Several landings and takeoffs were performed. On the last landing, the aircraft touched down first on the right main gear and then the left main gear. The pilot stated that the aircraft seemed to slide or skid to the right and continued onto the grassy area between the runway and taxiway. Pilot could not regain directional control and the left wing hit the wind sock swinging the aircraft around into the flag pole.
