Event Overview
A student pilot was conducting night landing practice under the supervision of an instructor. The prevailing wind during the practice was from the left at 40 degrees relative to the runway, with a speed of 16 knots. During one landing, the aircraft bounced after making initial contact with the runway and then drifted to the right side of the runway.
Instructor's Actions
The instructor assessed the aircraft's position and the remaining runway length. Perceiving that there was sufficient space, the instructor did not assume control of the aircraft. The instructor's decision was based on the belief that the available room was enough to complete the landing.
Collision
On the next touchdown attempt, the aircraft collided with a snowbank. This snowbank was located parallel to the runway and was positioned approximately 20 feet inside the runway edge lights. The investigation report did not provide additional details regarding the aircraft's condition or any injuries.
