THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON A SOLO CROSS COUNTRY. DURING LANDING, HE SAID, 'I ADJUSTED FOR A SLIGHT CROSSWIND AND TOUCHED DOWN...I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW NARROW THE RUNWAY WAS, BUT THOUGHT I COULD HANDLE IT. AT THE LAST MOMENT I ENCOUNTERED A GUST AND I SWERVED TO THE LEFT CAUSING MY LEFT LANDING GEAR TO CONTACT HARD FROZEN SNOW...I MUST HAVE OVERCORRECTED BECAUSE I SOON SWERVED...RIGHT INTO HARD SNOW.' THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER THE STUDENT HAD A TOTAL OF 37 FLIGHT HOURS.
