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 pilot was practicing touch and go landings. He reported that on his last landing, the wind pushed him toward the right side of the runway. The right main gear encountered snow and pulled the aircraft further to the right into a drift beside the runway. The plane then nosed over on its back.
