Probable cause
The certified flight instructor's inability to regain directional control after it was lost by his dual student on an icy, snowy 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 certified flight instructor attempted to correct his student's left drift from the runway centerline by verbal caution. When that failed, he attempted to take control of the aircraft, but was unable to overpower his student's left rudder input. The aircraft drifted off the left side of the runway and nosed over in a snowbank.
