What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot departed kcbg for a personal flight with his daughter. They flew towards mille lacs lake and decided to do a touch-and-go on one of the plowed ice roads.
The pilot selected a road based on winds and the lack of ice houses and people nearby. Although he had landed on ice roads in the past, he had not landed on this one. The road was 19FT wide.
After landing he raised the flaps to 10 degrees, pushed off the carb heat, and applied full power. The aircraft then hit a small rise in the ice and skipped to the left.
The left main wheel contacted the snow bank and pulled the aircraft to the left, forcing all three wheels into the snow and decelerating the aircraft. The nosewheel impacted some hard pack snow and the aircraft flipped onto its back.
