Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft had previously been involved in an accident in which the airframe was substantially damaged. It was then rebuilt & put back into service. Since then, it had been flown about 24 hrs using a snow covered rwy for takes & landing. During the 1st subsequent flt from a dry rwy, the plt made a landing, & on touch down, he noted that the acft veered to the right. He made a go-around, & when he landed the 2nd time, the same thing occurred. Again, he went around. On the 3rd landing at dusk, he elected to make a full stop. After touchdown, the acft veered right & collided with a snowbank. The exact cause of the tendency to swerve was not found during the investigation. The investigation did reveal that a jig was not used to rebuild the acft after the previous accident.
