Analysis
The student pilot reported that on his third touch-and-go, he was momentarily distracted and looked down inside the aircraft. He inadvertentently pushed the left rudder and was unable to regain directional control before the left main wheel ran off the side of the runway and into the snow. Subsequently, the plane was damaged when it hit a 3 ft snowbank.
