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 student pilot stated that during takeoff roll the aircraft began to drift left. Right rudder did not correct the drift and the left wheel contacted snow on the side of the runway causing drag on the aircraft. The aircraft nosed over as it departed the runway.
