Accident Details
A solo instructional flight experienced an accident during landing. According to the pilot's report, the aircraft touched down on the nosewheel first and bounced. Subsequently, the aircraft swerved to the right. The pilot added power to initiate a go-around, but the aircraft did not clear a four-foot snowbank located on the side of the runway. The aircraft collided with the snowbank in a nose-low attitude and nosed over.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported no mechanical failure or malfunction with the aircraft prior to the accident. The sequence of events as described by the pilot indicates that the initial nosewheel-first touchdown led to a bounce, followed by a swerve. The go-around attempt was unsuccessful due to insufficient clearance over the snowbank.
Conditions
The snowbank was four feet high and situated on the side of the runway. The accident occurred during daylight hours, though specific time of day is not specified in the source. No other details about weather, visibility, or wind were provided.
