What happened
The pilot reported that during the fourth touch-and-go maneuver, the airplane began to bounce immediately after touching down on the runway. In response, the pilot held the control yoke centered or slightly back for several seconds. The bouncing continued, prompting the decision to execute a go-around.
During the acceleration phase of the go-around, the pilot noted that they counteracted torque effects using right rudder but suspected overcompensation may have occurred. As a result, the aircraft veered left off the runway and collided with a snow bank.
The investigation
The investigation relied on the pilot's report regarding the sequence of events during the landing and go-around. No mechanical failures were identified as contributing factors in the provided account.
