NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot reported that, during landing, a strong gust of wind "pushed" the airplane left laterally across the runway after touchdown. Subsequently, the airplane exited the left side of the runway, struck a snow bank, and came to rest nosed down perpendicular to the runway.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right-wing.

The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The automated weather observation system on the accident airport reported, about the time of the accident, that the wind was variable at 3 knots. The student pilot landed on runway 07.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during landing.
