## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) ON 12-17-2006 AT APPROXIMATELY 1045 HOURS, WHILE ATTEMPTING A TAKE-OFF ON RUNWAY 20 AT THE BOUNDRY COUNTY IDAHO AIRPORT (65S), THE STUDENT PILOT AND SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT, A CE-172-L LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. AT THE TIME OF THIS ATTEMPTED TAKEOFF, THE RUNWAY WAS REPORTED TO BE COVERED WITH COMPACT SNOW AND ICE. AS THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY AT NEAR A 45 DEGREE ANGLE IT CONTACTED AN ICE CRUSTED SNOW BERM (APPROXIMATELY 18 INCHES HIGH) WITH THE NOSE TIRE AND LEFT MLG TIRE AT A SPEED SUFFICIENT TO CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT TO FLIP OVER ONTO ITS TOP. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED BY THE PILOT AND NO PRE OR POST ACCIDENT FIRE.
