Event Details
A pilot was regaining his 90-day passenger-carrying privileges, as his most recent flight had occurred approximately five months prior to the accident. He successfully completed one landing. During the second landing, the airplane touched down on all three wheels and was decelerating. The airplane subsequently veered to the left, departed the left side of the runway, and struck a snowbank. After striking the snowbank, the airplane came to rest.
Pilot Report
The pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector that the wind was from the left at 5 to 10 knots, occasionally gusting to 15 knots. He also reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane.
Aircraft Damage
The accident resulted in substantial damage to the airplane's wing strut, firewall, and fuselage.
