Accident Overview
A student pilot was conducting a cross-country flight and attempted a landing on a rough field. During the landing roll, the nose wheel encountered the soft surface, prompting the pilot to initiate a go-around.
Sequence of Events
Full power was applied with the airplane in a nose-high attitude. The rudder became ineffective, and the airplane drifted left during the takeoff roll. The leftward drift resulted in the aircraft striking a snow berm, after which it nosed over.
Findings
An evaluation of the student pilot's training revealed deficiencies in the following subjects: propeller gyroscopic effect, 'P' effect, and loss of rudder effectiveness during high-power, nose-high, low-speed maneuvers.
