Analysis
After returning to the arpt, the student began practicing touch-&-go landings. While climbing thru about 150 ft AGL, after the 3rd landing, the eng sputtered twice, then quit running. The acft was landed straight ahead on snow covered terrain. When the nosewheel settled, it dug into mud & the plane nosed over. An exam of the acft revealed no evidence of a preimpact mechanical malfunction.
