| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot reported that during a landing attempt, after touchdown, he raised the flaps and the right wing lifted. He added right aileron input, but the airplane then turned about 60° to the left. The pilot was unable to correct the turn with rudder and initiated a go around, at which time the airplane collided with a snow berm, and the pilot continued. On the second landing, the airplane touched down normally, but the landing gear collapsed. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the fuselage.
The pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing and subsequent failure to maintain clearance from a snow berm during a go around.
