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
A precautionary landing was made due to deteriorating weather. Landing was accomplished onto a frozen slough. During touch down during high gusty crosswinds the aircraft veered right with the right gear breaking through the ice. The aircraft bounced up onto an icy bank with the nose gear collapsing after striking a rock.
