Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Hailey, Idaho 83333
Thursday, March 11, 1999 12:15 MST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The student pilot reported that the approach and landing were normal. Shortly after touchdown, the aircraft veered to the left. He overcorrected and the aircraft veered to the right, toward an eight foot high snow bank located along the runway edge. He elected to initiate a go-around. Shortly after becoming airborne, the aircraft's main landing gear collided with the snow bank. The aircraft nosed over onto its back, approximately 15 feet east of the runway. The pilot stated that the wind appeared to be stronger than initially reported by the tower.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control after touchdown. Factors contributing to the accident were a snow bank along the runway edge and a crosswind.
