Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE AIRFRAME WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. IT WAS THEN REBUILT & PUT BACK INTO SERVICE. SINCE THEN, IT HAD BEEN FLOWN ABOUT 24 HRS USING A SNOW COVERED RWY FOR TAKES & LANDING. DURING THE 1ST SUBSEQUENT FLT FROM A DRY RWY, THE PLT MADE A LANDING, & ON TOUCH DOWN, HE NOTED THAT THE ACFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT. HE MADE A GO-AROUND, & WHEN HE LANDED THE 2ND TIME, THE SAME THING OCCURRED. AGAIN, HE WENT AROUND. ON THE 3RD LANDING AT DUSK, HE ELECTED TO MAKE A FULL STOP. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE ACFT VEERED RIGHT & COLLIDED WITH A SNOWBANK. THE EXACT CAUSE OF THE TENDENCY TO SWERVE WAS NOT FOUND DURING THE INVESTIGATION. THE INVESTIGATION DID REVEAL THAT A JIG WAS NOT USED TO REBUILD THE ACFT AFTER THE PREVIOUS ACCIDENT.
