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
An overrun occurred due to excess speed and touching down 1/4 of the way down the 2100 foot glider strip. The aircraft rolled onto two foot high alfalfa where it then nosed over. The pilot previously landed gliders on the gliderport but never an engine powered aircraft.
