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
While practicing a no-flap landing, the student allowed the aircraft to descend below the normal glide path. The instructor told the student that they were going to be low and to add power. Power was added, but soon thereafter, the aircraft touched down short of the runway in snow. The aircraft veered left when the left main gear dragged deeply through the snow. The nose gear, propeller, and left wing were damaged.
