## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - on ground/water, landing - roll
  - control tower service - inadequate, atc personnel(lcl/gnd/clnc) (cause)
  - weather condition - gusts (contributing factor)
  - wind information - inadequate, atc personnel(lcl/gnd/clnc) (cause)
  - weather condition - turbulence (contributing factor)
  - directional control - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
- On ground/water encounter with terrain/water, landing - roll
  - terrain condition - snowbank (contributing factor)

## Analysis

THE TOWER CONTROLLER ADVISED THE FLIGHT WHILE ON BASE LEG THAT THE WINDS WERE FROM 300 DEGREES AT 15 KNOTS. THIS INFORMATION WAS GIVEN AT 1045 EST AND WAS THE LAST WIND INFORMATION GIVEN TO THE PILOT BEFORE LANDING. ACCORDING TO THE PILOT MODERATE TURBULENCE AND GUSTY WINDS WERE ENCOUNTERED ON FINAL APPROACH UNTIL TOUCHDOWN. AT TOUCHDOWN GUSTS CAUGHT THE AIRCRAFT, DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST, THEAIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, STRUCK A FROZEN SNOWBANK, AND TURNED OVER. THE 1050 EST MANCHESTER WEATHER OBSERVATION STATED THAT THE WINDS WERE 310 DEGREES AT 15 KNOTS GUSTING TO 25 KNOTS.
