What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot was practicing normal touch and goes on runway 35 which was wet with patches of standing water due to melting snow, winds were from 300 degrees at 7 knots. The pilot stated the aircraft landed hard and to the right of the centerline, the pilot then returned the aircraft to the centerline and added power for takeoff. The aircraft was not properly reconfigured for a normal touch and go, leaving the flaps at 20 degrees instead of the 0 degrees as taught by the instructor. Upon adding power the aircraft veered to the left, the pilot countered with the right rudder. The pilot stated that the rudder seemed to be ineffective and right braking was not applied. The power was reduced and the aircraft exited the left side of the runway and entered the hard packed snow area. The left main wheel ran up on a snow bank causing the right wing to impact the runway. The aircraft then entered a tail high condition (approx 45-50 degrees) causing the propeller to impact the ground. The aircraft then rotated to the right and traveled approx. 200 feet after leaving the runway resting at a heading of approx 090 degrees 20 feet left of the runway surface. The aircraft suffered damage to theright wing tip, propeller and nose gear.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) THE PILOT WAS PRACTICING NORMAL TOUCH AND GOES ON RUNWAY 35 WHICH WAS WET WITH PATCHES OF STANDING WATER DUE TO MELTING SNOW, WINDS WERE FROM 300 DEGREES AT 7 KNOTS. THE PILOT STATED THE AIRCRAFT LANDED HARD AND TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTERLINE, THE PILOT THEN RETURNED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE CENTERLINE AND ADDED POWER FOR TAKEOFF. THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT PROPERLY RECONFIGURED FOR A NORMAL TOUCH AND GO, LEAVING THE FLAPS AT 20 DEGREES INSTEAD OF THE 0 DEGREES AS TAUGHT BY THE INSTRUCTOR. UPON ADDING POWER THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT, THE PILOT COUNTERED WITH THE RIGHT RUDDER. THE PILOT STATED THAT THE RUDDER SEEMED TO BE INEFFECTIVE AND RIGHT BRAKING WAS NOT APPLIED. THE POWER WAS REDUCED AND THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AND ENTERED THE HARD PACKED SNOW AREA. THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL RAN UP ON A SNOW BANK CAUSING THE RIGHT WING TO IMPACT THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT THEN ENTERED A TAIL HIGH CONDITION (APPROX 45-50 DEGREES) CAUSING THE PROPELLER TO IMPACT THE GROUND. THE AIRCRAFT THEN ROTATED TO THE RIGHT AND TRAVELED APPROX. 200 FEET AFTER LEAVING THE RUNWAY RESTING AT A HEADING OF APPROX 090 DEGREES 20 FEET LEFT OF THE RUNWAY SURFACE. THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THERIGHT WING TIP, PROPELLER AND NOSE GEAR.
