Accident Overview
A non-certified pilot was conducting a pleasure flight and attempted to land twice at the accident airport. The first attempt was aborted because the approach was too fast and too high, prompting a go-around. On the second attempt, the airplane touched down farther along the 2,610-foot runway than expected.
Sequence of Events
After landing, the airplane did not decelerate as anticipated. As the end of the runway neared, the pilot applied the brakes. The airplane then veered left, then right, and then left again. During the veering, the right wing contacted the runway surface. Subsequently, the nose of the airplane impacted a snow berm, and the airplane came to rest inverted.
Damage and Examination
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the wing and fuselage. An examination of the airplane found no mechanical malfunction or failure that would have precluded normal operation.
Pilot Information
The pilot was not certified (non-certified pilot). No further details about the pilot's qualifications or experience were provided in the source.
