Probable cause
The flight instructor did not maintain directional control of the airplane during the after landing roll. Factors in this accident were the strong cross winds and the ice patched runway.
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 flight instructor landed on a sod runway with ice patches and a cross wind of 18 to 24 knots. During the landing roll, as the airplane decelerated, directional control was lost. The airplane slid off the right side of the runway, through a snow bank, down a ditch and nosed over.
