Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the final approach, he made a left correction because the aircraft had drifted to the right of the runway centerline. After touchdown, the aircraft veered to the left, departed the left side of the runway, and collided with a snow bank.
Pilot Account
The pilot stated that the drift to the right occurred on final approach, necessitating a left correction. Immediately after landing, the aircraft veered left, exited the runway surface, and struck a snow bank. Following the accident, the pilot observed snow on the runway at approximately the point where the aircraft had touched down.
Runway Conditions
The pilot of an aircraft that landed before the accident reported that the runway was dry at the time of his landing. This contrasts with the snow observed by the accident pilot at the touchdown point.
