Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Larimore, North Dakota 58251
Saturday, April 5, 2014 13:30 CDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The wind was from the southwest at 6 to 10 knots when the pilot began a soft-field takeoff on runway 12. The airplane lifted off the ground and drifted rapidly towards the left side of the runway. Because of the nose high attitude, the instructor was unaware how close the airplane was to the runway edge. The pilot attempted to correct, but the left wheel contacted the snow bank unevenly and the airplane nosed over.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
Failure of the pilot to attain and maintain sufficient control inputs to compensate for the crosswind. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor's failure to adequately monitor the pilot and the flight.
