| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The pilot stated that during landing the airplane 'touched down very hard, bounced high and floated.' When the airplane touched down the second time, it was 'headed off [the] runway (15 degree angle -).' He attempted to go around, but the airplane did not get airborne. The landing gear contacted a deep snow bank approximately 500 feet east and 100 feet south of where the airplane departed the runway, and it came to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged landing flare and his improper bounced landing recovery technique. A factor was the snow bank.
