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
According to the plt, after landing on centerline brakes were applied and ice on the rwy caused the acft to veer left. An abort was initiated but realizing that the acft was going off the side of the rwy the plt secured the eng. The nose gear collapsed as the acft rolled into a snow bank. Other acft landed safely shortly before and after the accident.
