THE 78 HOUR PRIVATE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING A TOUCH AND GO LANDING. AFTER A SUCCESSFUL TOUCH DOWN, HE ADDED POWER TO TAKE OFF. AS THE POWER INCREASED, THE AIRPLANE VEERED QUICKLY TO THE LEFT ON THE ICY RUNWAY. HE REDUCED POWER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REGAIN COMPLETE DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, AND COLLIDED WITH TWO SNOW BERMS AS HE WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED WHEN THE AIRPLANE STRUCK THE SECOND BERM. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE HAD LAST FLOWN ON JANUARY 8, 1989, AND HAD APRX 11 HOURS OF FLIGHT TIME SINCE HE RECEIVED HIS AIRMAN'S CERTIFICATED ON AUGUST 31, 1988.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL DURING A TOUCH AND GO LANDING. A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IS THE PILOT'S LACK OF TOTAL FLIGHT EXPERIENCE.
