Factual narrative
THE ACFT NOSED OVER AFTER A LOSS OF CONTROL DURING LANDING ROLL PORTION OF A TOUCH & GO LNDG. THE LOW FLT TIME STUDENT PLT WAS PRACTICING ENDINGS SOLO WHEN CONTROL WAS LOST AND THE ACFT LEFT THE RWY. THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE WAS RESETTING THE CARB HEAT & FLAPS DURING THE LNDG ROLL JIST PRIOR TO THE LOSS OF CONTROL. THE ACFT NOSED OVER IN SNOW COVERED GRASS. THE PLT WAS LNDG IN A 10 KT X-WIND FROM THE LEFT. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
