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 plt allowed the acft to drift left during takeoff in spite of verbal instructions by the CFI to correct the situation. The acft continued toward a snowbank and the CFI did not take corrective action on the controls in time to avoid a collision with a snowbank.
