Background
The accident involved a Cessna 152 aircraft operated during a training flight with a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) and a pre-solo student pilot. The student had accumulated 9 hours of flight experience, all in the Cessna 152.
Sequence of Events
The flight had completed three touch-and-go landings without any issues. On the fourth attempt, the CFI planned to fly just above the runway to assist the student in judging the proper flare height. During this approach, the left main landing gear contacted the runway, prompting the initiation of a go-around maneuver. The student applied full power, and the CFI retracted the flaps to the 20-degree position.
Following the go-around, the aircraft began to descend and drift to the left. It subsequently struck a snow bank and came to rest in an inverted position. At the time of the accident, a slight right crosswind was present.
