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
Company employees, cleaning snow off the airplane, discovered substantial damage to the left wing. The last renter pilot was questioned and he denied having damaged the airplane. He suggested the damage must have been incurred on a previous flight, and that he probably flew the airplane in a damaged condition.
