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 reported that he arrived in marginal VFR weather conditions with rain and variable winds gusting to 12 knots. He stated that the windsock favored a landing to the east, downhill, to a wet grass runway. He reported that during a short field approach, he encountered a gust from the south while his vision was obscured by the rain. Subsequently, he touched down short of the runway in brush.
