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 pilot attempted to takeoff on a runway with icy patches, lost control and slid off the side into a snowbank. The pilot did not possess any type of pilots certificate due to the fact that he could not pass a medical examination.
