Analysis

On February 6, 1995, about 1030 central standard time, an Aeronca 11AC, N9025E, piloted by the registered owners, skidded off the right side of the runway into a snowbank while practicing touch and go landings at Kenosha, Wisconsin. The airplane sustained substantial damage when it nosed over after impacting the snowbank. The certificated flight instructor (CFI) and the dual student reported no injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, no flight plan was filed. The dual instructional flight operated under 14 CFR Part 91, and originated from Kenosha, Wisconsin, approximately 1025.

The CFI reported the purpose of the flight was to practice touch and go landings. He stated the student pilot was manipulating the controls, and the takeoff, traffic pattern and touchdown were normal. He reported after touchdown the airplane veered to the left, and the student "corrected with the proper controls to get the aircraft straight." The airplane veered again, first to the left then swerved to the right. The CFI stated he attempted to recover from the swerve, but the airplane ran off the right side of the runway and hit a snowbank. The CFI indicated he was unable to regain control and avoid the snowbank because the airplane only has brakes on the left side.
