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 reported landing in almost total whiteout conditions. The landing was made at the first light of day, there was a little light ice on the windshield, and there was snow and ice on the runway. The pilot was unaware that only a 50 ft wide strip was plowed on the runway. During the landing roll, the aircraft drifted right and hit a snowbank.
