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
A precautionary landing was made due to the pilot becoming lost, the aircraft's navigation radio not working, and low fuel. A gusting crosswind was present during landing. On rollout the aircraft's wing tip caught a fence and the aircraft nosed over.
