Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Waukesha, Wisconsin 53188
Thursday, March 9, 1995 17:52 CST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

THE SOLO STUDENT PILOT WAS PERFORMING TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS, LANDED LONG AND ABORTED THE TAKEOFF PORTION. WINDS WERE FROM 50 DEGREES LEFT OF THE NOSE AT 5 KNOTS, AND THE RUNWAY WAS DRY. DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS NOT MAINTAINED, THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY, AND FLIPPED OVER WHEN THE WHEELS DUG INTO SNOW.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

the student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during an aborted takeoff. A factor was the snow covered ground which contributed to the airplane nosing over as it departed the runway.
