Probable cause
The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed during the aborted landing. Contributing to the accident was the unfavorable wind.
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
During the landing roll, the airplane began sliding toward the right side of the snow and ice covered runway. The pilot then added power to make a go around. After reaching about 15 feet AGL, the airplane settled and landed hard. The nose and left main landing gear collapsed and the left wing hit the ground. Note: for data entry purposes only block 74 in the NTSB factual report form 6120.4 reflects that the pilot is airline transport certificated. The pilot's actual certification is commercial.
