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 made a night landing without landing lights. The runway was narrowed by snow banks inside the runway lights. The aircraft skidded on the icy runway and rode up onto the right snowbank, dragging the left wing. When the aircraft yawed to the right the right wing and nose contacted the snow.
