Overview
An instructional flight intended to prepare a student pilot for a private pilot check-ride ended when the student undershot the approach end of the runway during a touch-and-go landing. The aircraft collided with a 30-inch snow berm located approximately 15 feet from the runway threshold.
Sequence of Events
The instructor and student were conducting touch-and-go landings. On the third landing, the student misjudged the approach, resulting in the aircraft touching down short of the runway. The airplane struck a snow berm, which caused the nose wheel to collapse. Following the impact, the aircraft slid about 200 feet down the runway before coming to a stop.
Damage
The collision with the snow berm resulted in the collapse of the nose wheel. The extent of additional damage to the aircraft is not specified in the source.
