Incident Overview
A student pilot on a solo cross-country flight reported that during the landing roll, the airplane encountered ice on the runway. The student had overflown the airport to assess runway conditions and observed that the windsock indicated a crosswind from the right. After determining the runway was suitable for landing, the student proceeded with the approach.
Landing and Runway Excursion
During the landing roll, the airplane drifted to the left after encountering ice on the runway. The student added power to abort the landing, but the airplane exited the left side of the runway and collided with runway lighting. The student then pulled back on the yoke, and the airplane climbed momentarily, but it did not have enough airspeed to sustain flight. The airplane touched down on the left side of the runway and nosed over.
Environmental Conditions
The student reported that the wind during landing was from 180° at 10 knots with no gusts. The landing was conducted on runway 13.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing strut. The student reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
