## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, landing - flare/touchdown
  - flare - improper, pilot in command (contributing factor)
  - recovery from bounced landing - improper, pilot in command (cause)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- In flight collision with terrain/water, go-around (vfr)
  - terrain condition - snowbank (contributing factor)

## Analysis

UPON INITIAL TOUCHDOWN THE ACFT BOUNCED. IN THE PROCESS OF 'RE-FLARING' THE ACFT IT DRIFTED TO THE EGDE OF THE RWY. THE SOLO STUDENT PLT APPLIED FULL POWER TO GO-AROUND, HOWEVER, DURING THIS MANEUVER THE LEFT WHEEL HIT A SNOWBANK ALONG THE EDGE OF THE RWY. THE ACFT THEN WENT UP ON IT'S NOSE IN THE SNOW.
